  1. Hi everybody, I'm back again because the Hippo years were the happiest years of my life. I can just about accept the fact that nobody really remembers me ....ahhhhh.... but put it down to the fact that not everyone knows how to find this site. Just to remind everyone, even Pat the DJ, who has, unforgivably, stated she doesn't remember me, even though we were both there the night Keith Moon, yes, Keith Moon, took her home. Just to remind everybody that might be remotely interested, I was, and still am, 6ft 5", I was an ex copper, I knew Polish George, also an ex copper, or cadet, well, I go
  2. Yeah, George was a top javelin thrower. Ken Burt was a national oarsman and was often down the Union. Pat may remember him from there. I think the manager was called Harry?
  3. Good to hear from you Hippo Girl and Pat. I greeted and checked tickets at the bottom of the stairs. I’m about 6ft 5 and would have had dark hair then (Grey now but still there!) Ken Burt worked the door at the top, He was about the same height with short fair hair – a bit of a ladies man to say the least but not a graduate of the charm school. If he thought someone was too fat or too old for hot pants he used to tell them that when they came in. That led to his early demise at the club. I left with him as he was my mate. Loyalty heh? I can remember a lot of the Forest team coming in regula
  4. Donkey Bray Dec 20th 2008 , 05.50pm Hi Tony, I don’t know if you or anyone else remembers me. I’m Derek (Donkey) Bray I worked the door at the Hippo with a guy called Kenny Burt on Friday and Saturdays from 1969 to 1971. I let Keith Moon in one night as he wanted to meet Pat and view her records. I remember you well – the smartest guy in town! Working there at the time, I also remember Gordon Long, Ricky, Brian (Who worked on the bins in the daytime), Pat the dj and George Markowski, the deputy manager who broke his leg carrying potatoes down the stairs, I also remember a Spanish chef
