davebott Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 :What was the blues club called at pitsmoor. then one that opened around 1am and closed around 5am. I think it closed around 5am but by then I wasn't even on this planet. I remember you could buy anything in there and I mean anything. Donkeymans ?

dynamicdebz Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Vickers, the bottom of London Road was the place to be on Thursday, Friday & Saturday in early 80's. I was too young to go in but they let anyone in, including me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pussinboots Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 How about good old Roxy's, still standing but not open. I used to go in Roxy's mainly - also Turn-Ups on Commerical Street, Romeo and Juliet's, Isabellas, Maximillions, Josephines (occasionally), Vickers - 0h those were the days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayasp41 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Vickers, the bottom of London Road was the place to be on Thursday, Friday & Saturday in early 80's. I was too young to go in but they let anyone in, including me. I remember it being Vickers, at the back end of the 70's it was Tiffanys, and on a monday under 18s could go in, I remember dancing to "Is she really going out with him" by Joe Jackson. Towards the end of the 80's it was known as the Locarno, where I met my partner. If you were in the pub before 11pm (front of the building) they opened the doors into the nightclub, so you got in for free!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
