Yeah it was quite good a shame I had to leave fairly early due to consuming to much alcohol!

 

Next time I will try to get a few more old faces to reappear out of the mirk:hihi:

 

See you sat Jackie if you are out (sure you will be).

I couldn't see the pics :-( but remember it well. I used to drink there then go to work at the Nelson then go to work at the Penthouse, with big Mick and little Mick on the door. Ken DJ and Dave May.

We used to stand near the juke box with the 'football crowd'

We were there for Olgas leaving do and it was a great night but the end of an era.

 

If you are referring to, or if you remember a bunch of Wednesdayites who hung around the end of the bar near the DJ, there was Greg, Brian, Jinxie, Pat, Paul, Geoff, Trunny and me (Keith)

I am still in touch with most of them although I haven't lived in UK for 28 years

To follow on from this there is another reunion at the Casbah (It'll always be the Wap to me too) on the 19th of Dec 2009. Follow the FB link above and you will find details. The last one was okay, not hugely busy... being as this thread has 35 pages I hope that some of you will be able to make it for some pre-xmas drinks.

Great thread - very interesting reading.....

I have some old super 8mm home movie film taken inside the Wapentake during 1982, but its very dark, I keep meaning to digitize it and 'correct' the lighting...you can make out Dj ken, Olga and Marge, and 2 of the other regular bar staff, plus the bouncer with long blond hair.... It also shows the peace gardens as it was, Pippys, and other 'hippie' haunts like bringing it all back home on Glossop Road, and that shop that sold records and posters near Cole brothers, now a bar on the corner.....plus it shows fargate fountains, messing about on the old town hall roof, and hordes of rockers/hippies laying around in the peace gardens summer 82 with those 99 pence bottles of cider from International Supermarket across the road.......I MUSt find it!!!! You can't move for Led Zeppelin, Whitesnake or AC/DC T shirts!!!!!

 

You HAVE to find this and let me know when it is posted!!
