I hated them kind of clubs - real naff !

I went to the Cavern early 70s. Also Erics later on - but only when reggae bands were playing ! Wasn't into anything else - only black music.
There were some great live bands and singers on clubs like The Mardi and the Victoriana. (The likes of Ike & Tina Turner, Wilson Picket, Edwin Star, etc)

We used to go to Soul music clubs and Reggae blues dances



... God, this thread makes me feel old !! ... and I am !!
You must have been a fan of our very own black band "the real thing" then?
