    I was a regular down the Dungeon Club back in the mid-late sixties and l was too young to officially get in. I do remember the Wednesday night rush l think if you got in before 8pm you only paid 1/-. and the all day marathons on a Sunday and the long queues stretching up Stanford Street.

    If you were lucky enough to pull a female the trip up to the cemetery of St Nicholas on Maid Marion Way.

    As you could only get coke inside we would occasional call in at the Sawyers Arms, even though e were under age we always got served or the big guy who was with us did.

    Does anybody remember the Lambert bros from Clifton or Curley, who were regulars and 'big timers'?

    Hi Robbie I was a regular Dungeon goer. I well remember the Lambert brothers ....Eric " little Eric " and his brother not so well but I do remember he had red hair and joined the Navy. Strange how you remember these things after all those years.

    Other names that come to mind are Colin Kane " Mondo " Kev Reynolds Jimmy Fay Jan...Polish guy Radio and many more whose names escape me.

    There are a lot of threads on here about the Dumgeon and all theses names have been mentioned before.

    Hi Al and welcome to Nottstalgia. I went to all the clubs you mentioned except the Santa Fe. If you are from Clifton you would remember Eric Lambert " Little Eric " baby face who all the girls liked to mother.

    I can't remember you from then but I do know you from Saturday nights from The Dog And Partridge and also The Broad Oak in Strelley Village.

    I went to Clarendon College with a lad who worked there when it was The Co-op it would have been around 1969/1970 his name was Steve ????? his surname I can't remember.

    He then went to work for Players and he and his wife were stewards at Players Sports and Social Club on Asley Lane.

    Just remembered his surname.....it was Bullard

    Wow what a great little reminder! I used to go there with Click, Ben, Kenny and Radio amongst others.I didn't have a car then so always had to bum a ride with someone but that was usually possible as several guys had wheels and were usually generous with lifts........Is the version of Sitting in the Park on the soundtrack by Billy Stewart (original)?

    Hi Siddha this is the original version.http://youtu.be/F_m8xmL6Vck
