Hiya George,
with the memory I've got these last few years, last week didn't happen.
Just like Minnesota Fats, the In Crowd rings a very vague bell, but it's more likely my mind trying to pretend it works.
3 of the lads you mention are on page 2 of this link (you may have already seen it)...

...don't know if the one you couldn't recall is the other lad in the photo.

After leaving The Spot he opened a very expensive shoe shop on Bold St called 'Neil's Shoes'. Called in to see him a few times when I was in Liverpool.
When the Albert Dock was restored he moved into one of the retail units there but don't think it went well - plenty of footfall but people went there to browse rather than buy. Like many others, as soon as his lease expired he moved on. Don't know what he did after that.
Anyone know where it went? I'm sure there was something about it being moved/preserved,in the Echo,some years ago.I remember the Grotesque sign that hung outside Ugly,s on Duke St
It now hangs over Mart's door.

Hi Johnny,
Went in most of 'em. Squire's in Woolton wasn't too far from where I lived and we often went in mid-week, but I'd forgotten all about the place. I mentioned earlier in the thread that a mate of mine had been married to Jim Ireland's daughter. Though they got divorced we still always got into the Beachcomber for free.
Only went on the Landfall a couple of times and didn't really like it. Went in the Continental in later years, just before my clubbing days in Liverpool were over - moved away.
Oh I forgot all about the Landfall, isnt that the boat? It had one of those deep sea diving suits/helmets in there? I only went there once. I also forgot to mention I went to The Coconut Grove once too. and back in the 60s went to The Black Cat in London Road on the one occasion.
The Coconut Grove - another forgotten memory!
We went there a few times as an old schoolmate was on the door.
Yes I remember the Iron Door well, it was not far from the Cavern Club. Also I remember the Jaceranda
Ah remember it well....Mickey Finn and chicken in a basket...or was it scampi.
'forgotten memory'....the more I say it the more wrong it sounds.
I went to the Squires too !, and every Sunday to the "Lines" the old Cheshire Lines club in Southmead Road Allerton! if I remember rightly there was also Johns place in Garston, it was a case of knock three times to be admitted , great after hours drinking there !! happy days...
Hi Kevin, i might of wobbled past you some night i lived off Mackets lane,another great club was the Peppermint lounge in the 60s (free soup Tuesday) i remember Heinz from the Tornados was on one week had a few drinks with him,i also nearly copped off with PP Arnold at the Regency club Widnes,there was another club that had good acts the Bobbins Garston has anybody come across anyone famous around the clubs 60/70s ? i remember walking down Mackets lane and then helping this lad to catch his dog later i found out it was George Harrison who lived on Mackets a couple of weeks later when i passed the house was surrounded with young girls John.
