HippoGirl, ask Robert Plant if he remembers a dog jumping up him on a beach in Costa Rica last year. My niece’s dog! Don’t think he was too pleased
Will do ......he has dogs of his own ....my grands are terrified of him, think he is a hobo !!!!!

I totally agree Fly .....the dungeon club started my musical journey, the beachcomber and boat clubs gave me the confidence to explore different genres..... I will always be grateful for that period of my life as today I still work and enjoy what the music industry has to offer

I know so many people who were there that night (or at least SAID they were there). I spent a lot of time at the Dungeon but thankfully I wasn’t there on that eventful night, probably because I’d seen the Drifters many times before and I wasn’t allowed to go to all-nighters in any case
Incidentally it was by googling Dungeon Club that led me to Nottstalgia 6 years ago!
Me too Lizzie .....as you know I have documented the dungeon club days along with most of the Nottingham clubs and my research led me to nottstalgia .....we now are involved with the reunion group which has brought so many of us together again .....I was there on the night of the raid but I think that was my last visit as the beachcomber and boat clubs became more current

Been in the Lincolnshire Poacher tonight to listen to a friend of ours and his mate performing, (Baron Lewis) they apparently have live music in there on a Sunday night. We’d never heard him singing before and we’re pleasantly surprised, it was a great night. Walked there and back from home as it’s not too far but slipped over on the icy pavement when I was nearly home, landed on my bum and hurt my wrist. It’s not swollen but really painful right now. Hopefully it’ll be improved in the morning!
hope you feeling better Lizzie, too much Merlot on Mansfield road, stick to lattes in Deliliah !!!!LOL
of course until we get together in that undisclosed location at the end of each month , when you need a few Merlots to keep pace with the music and the people

Yes Lizzie , waltons on derby road .....years ago it was called the north lodge
Think mum has got it wrong !!!!!
-
Thanks for reply TBI....harts hotel opened 12 or so years ago, this one my mum is talking about was nearer Derby road and maybe the 80s or 90 s......my argument was I can never recall a hotel actually on the Ropewalk !!!!
-
Having a discussion with my mum today on whether there was a small hotel on the Ropewalk some 20 years ago. I have no memory of this but she thinks there was a boutique type hotel .
Does anyone know ?
