Found this thread by accident and joined site. So many places I had forgot. Even now some of the names are memories just starting to surface.

Local clubs for me: Gladray, Ibo, The old Somali (before it moved to the Casa), Chauffers. As a schoolboy went to the last night of the Peppermint Lounge - kopped off with Kirkby girls and had to walk home in the early hours.
Late 70s (I think) went with people from work to the club down from the Blue Angel (can't remember the name). We were the only people downstairs - booth seats around tiny dance floor - when entertainment arrived - Jr Walker and band! Played 2 tunes looking bored and wanted to go. We made a fuss and he played another. Fuss again and he woke up. After that, two hours of non-stop music and dance as a 'private' session from a 60s legend.
