tinker Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Originally posted by Fareast Kirky , I might be completely wrong about this but I remember a jukebox that showed pictures on the top as the music played in the Hermitage , on London Road , way before 1981. Trouble is , it was probably a primitive version of a video jukebox and since I' m really technically illiiterate , I call them all the same name. The Hermitage was pretty respectable at that time and I even took my mother in , who very rarely went in pubs . I THINK the song on the juke box that we saw was Freddy and the Dreamers , singing that one that went , "How do you do what you do to me " , which may help you date it. No chortling please-----it was modern for that time ! do you mean by gerry and the pacemakers ? not freddie and the dreamers . around 1964 , going back a bit intit .

Fareast Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Yeah , Tinker , I've got mixed up on the details , somewhere along the line. Th best person to pinpoint the year is Owdlad , since he worked near there. What was Freddy and the Dreamers ' best known song ? I might have been thinking of that ?

Fareast Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Kirky I suppose that even if Freddy and the Dreamers or Gerry and the Pacemakers had hits in the '60's , they might have put their songs on a video juke box much later than that. Perhaps , for some reason , only certain groups , "videod " their songs for the juke box ? I honestly don't know . It's still up to Owdlad to pinpoint the date for us . Where is he ? Not back in the Hermitage , I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Originally posted by kirky would i be right in saying the mulberry was the first boozer in sheffield city centre to have a video juke box,it would have been around 1981 and i remember it was such a big deal that you could get the video with the song,the place was always rammed upstairs and down. i would say you could be right kirky i would have thought the video jukebox was introduced in the early 1980s , i used to go in the hermitage in the late 60s 1969 to be exact and it was just a standard type jukebox i remember putting honky tonk women on by the rolling stones july 69 .

I can't pinpoint it exactly, but it must have been 1968 or 9 mainly because I was a young lad then, and only learned later that the beer in The Pheasant was much better.
