I never failed to get into Pemps - in fact it was always my fall back in case I couldn't get in anywhere else. I'm talking early/mid 80's. In fact, I once had a spectacular, Merrydown-induced technicolour yawn on the dance-floor and still got in the next week.

it was that rough the arms on the chairs had tattoo's !!!

The Tavern, JJ's - cowshed.
Watching Yvonne McCann with that snake on the stage was a sight to behold.

She doesn't live too far away from me now. I've never seen her but my Dad tells me tales about her. I wish she was around in my formative years

the first time i went in there it was called glitters, and a massive fight erupted about 10 mins after we got in and spilled out onto the carpark, with chairs and tables flying everywhere

Have I just logged into Faceparty?! Creep Sum B!tch.

What did she do with the snake?

WTF...officers clubs an institution on its own, and nowt like pemps.

so why lower its status for a quick buck (think i spelt it right)



i was a pemps regular, then when i was a bit older i was an officers club regular.
i remember it opening...class.
brick walls, chesterfield sofas, a glass piano and a space invaders table game



sheer class.

if theres demand for a pemps night, then reopen pemps

have you never watched any dutch films ?

I had a mate who played bass in the resident band there.

she used to bring it into the imperial in ince on a sunday night.



didnt she have a brother?

pemps was my first "propper" job in the sense i got paid for working there but the tax man didnt know i was 16 and working on a bar or as a door man or any job that needed doing was a great place really were no rules

*shrugs*

'Charmed' it !!!!!!!!!

Oh no. I was just thinking the same? Well it's 3.13am now so if I leg it i'll catch the tail end. Hope it's means tonight (Sat/Sun)

I didnt know that you worked there as well mate. Must have been when she fired me off. It was weird knowing that you could be in that little hole called the cloakroom, on a bar, glass collecting or on the door with are Lee. Proper daft........

I had a couple of memorable nights in there with Sean Long, Gleeson and Darren Albert

yeah i took over from you when you went me and bubble worked there for about 2 years

Did anyone go? I went on the Sat/Sun night. I was even told by the barstaff downstairs that there was even a buffet on. I legged it up with a pal at 12.50am and no-one was there!!? I got a drink bang on 1am to say I was the first, complete with photo. Well I waited til 1.15 and nothing so went downstairs a sat at the bar sulking into my Jamesons.

Me and SiY went on Saturday at about 4am ish.. Empty as owt, but we still managed to spend an hour there.
