[The Thurland Hall Pub]

I had a Mate who worked at a butchers in Bridgeford, cant remember where it was.

Went to school there,mucky Road annexe to 7th form, left in 1980.

Went to the youth club often, playing table football, and taking the pi** out of the "greb'os" dancing to the Rolling Stones.

Then worked at the leisure centre for 8 years kicking the kids out who were trying to get into the bar for a beer.

Origin disco was a lad by the name of YOFF.

[Rock City in the 80's]

The opening gig at Rock City was supposed to be the Human League but they/it got cancelled, tickets were then honoured for the replacement which was the Kinks, I was there.

Also saw U2, Defunkt, Gang of Four and many others.

Also used to frequent The Boat and The Union on Trent Bridge, can't remember which was which, saw Magnum, Scorpions, Def Leppard and a local band which played there a lot called Limelight (i think).

Another rock venue circa that period was on St James' Street could have been at the back of the Imperial.

And let's not forget Brendan Kidulis at The Old Malte Crosse (sic) saturday dinnertime

[Puzzler]

Having moved away from Nottingham about 20 years ago, i recently bumped into a fellow exile in a pub and the topic moved onto watering holes in the city.

So the question is. What on earth was the name of the pub on Shakespeare Street opposite the police station which had the topless barmaids and strippers. It wasn't russels, now the orange tree.

Any help would be much appreciated.
