Here's one for you, was anyone ever part of the 'pistol club' ???
i was Ged, But it was a pistol club in Long Lane Aintree, Dont think its the one you mean :PDT30
No, I mean out all night, pistol dawn :PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Part of Liverpool's brilliant musical heritage is the Folk Music movement of the 50s and 60s. Back in the 60s Jacqui and Bridie's "Coach House" was one of the best folk-music clubs in Liverpool. It was held on a weekday evening in the old Mill Street Mission - I can't recall which evening. It was absolutely unmissable. Surely I can't be the only one who remembers it.
I's forgotten (as in "blotted out the memories of") the Jacaranda Club in Bold Street back in the 60s. You'd never see a dive like it... except maybe the Black Hole of Calcutta. It was, strangely enough, very popular!
Great footage of Jacqui and Bridie and the Spinners in the Liverpool documentary 'Beat City'.
Does anyone know exactly where the Iron Door club was and whether the building is still there. I thought it was off castle street somewhere behind Tower building but ive forgotten where.
I'd forgotten all about that one. Don't remember where it was though.Quote:

Sounds familiar. All seems such a long time ago. Best bet up to now though.Quote:

The Iron Door can boast they hosted the Beatles pre Cavern.
Try this for some good info'on the "Iron Door"!

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!

The first night club i went to was Cindy's on Victoria St , it was owned by a friends of my Dad at the time , he had told them let me into any of the clubs as i was too young , so i had to wait until about ten people were in the doorway and try a sneak in , i was 16 at the time , then from there we'd go around to the tiger or the Babaloo , and the other place the Pez , the cumberland , then later when i was older we went to the state , charlies bar which was later Daley's dandelion ... So many .. I couldn't go to many places though without having to sneak in or hide in the corner because my dad knew everyone and they'd tell him i was in the clubs !! By the time i got older most of the places had closed down.

Kirklands and Hardman Street, Quinns on Lime Street and Quinns 2 near the Royal Court, which has so many mirrors inside it it used to make me dizzy, although that might have been the bottles of Diamond White. :unibrow:
Allansons up in Litherland too where Charlie Connolly (as in the Cameo Murders) was a doorman in the 70s.
I used to go to the Mardi Gras in Paradise Street. All the bands played there.
You must've been drunk, it was in Mount Pleasant :) :PDT_Aliboronz_24:
It was on the left hand side as you went up the hill.Quote:

Seel St. My mate was married to the owner's daughter for a while so we used to get in free.Quote:

There was talk of them opening up again in the old Hippy on West Darby Rd and be like the Hammersmith Odeon,with more big name bands.Don't know what happend to that idea but Butler opened the Back of the Moon in Heathfield St,off Bold St.The door was close to the foot bridge over the railway.I was a member but it just wasn't the Mardi.Went about 6/8 times then gave it up as a bad job.
