What was the nightclub called behind Woolies and McDonald's . It was very small and you had to go down steps to a cellar to it.

Tracey's??....then became Bransky's???

my dad goes on about there all the time.

you old fogeys!

i think he got kicked out or something.

Anyone remember The Silverfox night club???Late 80s i think,on the same row as Kentucky fried chicken,big white building think David Taylor the snooker player had a hand in it,hence the name..It didnt last very long got into a bit of debt trying to revamp it.

The Hamlet.

Was a member there for a long time.

Better class of people don't you know...........

You couldn't beat a Friday or Saturday in Fiesta!!!!!

Synergy on Bridge Foot, remember that eh...

You must be nearly as old as me! The Hamlet was known as 'the hole in the wall.' Later became Shane Fenton's.

fell down those stairs a few times

That alleyway allways stinks of p!ss.

derek who?

I think it was 78 or 79 we watched Slaughter and the Dogs, The Vibrators and I think the Stranglers made an early debut, all a bit hazy now.
You could buy a pint of slop for 50p just to throw over the band, shear class.
I remember pogoing after one or ten Strongbows with a few mates, throwing ourselves in to the crowd and emerging battered and bloodied and laughing so much I nearly pizzed myself. Aah good times!!!
Wouldn't get that at a Take That gig would you.



Wasn't Tracey's called The Crazy Daisy way back, way way back!!!!

Derek was the bloke who owned the place. He used to play in a band called Last Orders if I remember right. They used to play in the back bar of the Lion on a Friday night.

Didn't Bill Medland have a hand in the Carlton? or was that the Lion?

Ok thanks was just checking something

Don't think he had anything to do with the Carlton, but he did own the Lion, and the Rams Head at Grappenhall?

He wouldn't stand any messing about in the Lion!

I know, I got a right good slap off him for knocking a table over, he had hands like bloody shovels.

If I hadn't been ever so slightly squiffy I'd have pointed out that he shouldn't be doing that, I would!!!

I thought Bill Medland had the license.

What do I remember.

Punk nights on Monday, going to school with a hangover on Tuesday.

The Lukers, Penetration (got their stuff still on my iPod)

The stairs, how small it was, the smell of reefers.

Being in there one Friday night, seeing three Wire players absolutely off their heads and watching same three players next day in a televised cup match against Saints.

Great memories, doubt it would be allowed to open these days.

Don't remember that.

The Hamlet closed for a while and re-opened as Crazy Daisy but was never as good.

Do remember meeting Toby Du Toit in the Hamlet though many times.

ow about pepermint gardens back of the horse n jockey got burnt down i think

Shane fentons nightspot was on Mersey st, now Club Wired, the Hamlet was at the back of Woolies, which then became the Crazy Daisy, I think.

Under 16s on Monday nights but they served cider ! Can't even smell the stuff to this day without thinking I'm gonna puke. School on Tuesdays were heavy going

fell down the stairs of the Carlton 10 hours before I got married, had to be carried home.

The Rainbow and the Co-op Hall was for the Northern soulies, unfortunately a bloody car showroom now

Don't forget the Bell Hall.



Anyone remember the Caravella in Stokton Heath.

Remember Woolston leisure and Orford Youthie....The fights The Mods,The Punks,The Rockers,The Smellies!!
