Being a musician I was in a few places by necessity,but was at the Timepiece All Nighter's,The Cumberland-never had the courage to go in the She club as I knew the ladies were way too hard for me..
The Alharam,also on Upper Parly owned my my mate's Dad.
Kirks,Plummers,The State,lived around the corner from Quadrant PK for years and wondered what all the racket was on a Sun night!
Would never go in the Conte,not my crowd.
Never went the Grafton,looked too dodgy at that time.
Top Rank at the precinct only when you couldn't get in other places,but saw UB40 in there one night during their "dole card" album tour.
My mate's mum used to work at the Wookey Hollow in Tuebrook,but that place was for the old farts and had singers on and what...
Liked the Casa next to the Phil pub for years when we were music students as it was free and well laid back....
Ibo,late in life...
Took some Polish friends to see the outpourings at Cream at 3am in the morning when it was big,they never saw anything like it in their lives.
Heeby Jeebies,Bourbon St and the other busy club that used to be on Seel St in the 90's...
Played in the Gladray a few times and had a laugh,Gladys brought us in,I remember one night playing there while some old broad went down on the mic in the middle of the song and then retired to the corner somewhere to finish her party piece off with-can't be written what we saw- ........she got chucked out.
Anyone remember Hollywood's?
Was a load more but can't remember as I'm getting an old fart these days.
Just had the weekend in the pool so I'm stoked to come in here and drop a few lines,too many soz!
