Always recal lthe steps to downstairs being at the rear of the building in the Metal Mickey days. Just a man behind a till. Later, entrance to downstairs was just left of the main upstairs entrance, this had a kiosk and possibly a small cloakroom, struck me as being the original? Ithis had blocked off behind fire doors This was the time of a Reservoir Dogs mutual.

That's a blast from the past, instantly screams Mayall and Decca to me! There's also a inner's and outer's debate regarding this!

Anybody recall the 'Nottingham Rock Memories 'forum? Very much alive, about 2006, last post in 2014 under a totally different banner..dead and dead since.. Shame....

Would have been called 'Earth' at that time, have a couple of recordings in similar venues. Interesting how Tony I's guitar playing is so similar to Alvin's early in their career. Is their a listing of Groundhog show's ? Must have seen them about 40 times over the years and didn't go looking!

Thanks for that clarification, makes total sense, DJ, when did you buy your CD HiFi recorder? Regarding disks, I recall those fussy buggers even being brand specific for recognition. (TDK, Sony etc). What do you see if you put a disk in a computer? If it was me, I would be looking if the header could be replicated? on a truely blank disk..I have hours to waste! I haven't used CDR's for year's, after about 10 copies used to get cyclic redundancy error, they were marketed to do 100's of copies. span widgetspan widget

Exact audio copy still works perfectly, windows 10 or 7.. DJ..That reference to, for 'audio only ' is a new one on me, I still have hundreds of genuine blanks bought over ten years ago.. Red book is red book, mixed media has been around for over 20 years.. Are these 'for audio' blanks recently purchased?

Visited my friend in Nott's about 2002, recall a double tremor, it was a Sunday about 3.30 pm. First one woke me up, second i was coherent, that pre-rumbling sound is very strange. Think this rated high on the scale for the UK. I could be wrong, but it's epicentre may have been offshore.

Seems apt today.. Give Jimi Hendrix's, 51st Anniversary a spin...

RIP Clive, I will never forget the sweet smell those rubber keys gave off, when the Speccy warmed up... Decent poker player also, if memory serves...

Just watched my Motorhead boot dvd copy, superb.. trailer add's a couple more to the list. Joe Jackson and Martha & the Muffins... Does anybody recall the Cig' kiosk in the Sherwood Rooms / Astoria.? Fag machines had been the fashion for decades. Don't get it.. A payed human.. dedicated solely to.cig's..before you ask..yes they were all female ?? Remember those Pretty girls hitting the inner city pub's with a free 5 pack mid nineties.

I think theres mini leagues within leagues, Fulham, West Brom, Bournemouth off to a fast start, no surprise, nice to see Brentford promoted.. Anybody name a team the benifited from Europa league qualification? Ok..Man United..

Recall seeing Zoot Money twice in London mid seventies, I can't recall the band/s name, Jon Lord, Bernie Marsden I think were members.

Wasn't Henri a leftie? Like Go on Scratchmyitch...

Unless you are talking quite recently, about 16 years ago a bookies without fag smoke was unheard of! However, I do recall a small non smoking Ladbrokes on Pelham St about early 90's. Where there anymore?

Thanks Rob, I'll get that book, I think a little early for major clues, but has potential one liner's. No Nott's connection until late 1879 ag but an interesting read. Other side of the family, 1907, signed up for seven years attestation, still called Nott's & Derbys.. Think Stuart's right, it"s complex! No military connection Nott's wise before 1889. Rob, I see you trawl online newspapers, I found out lot's 1820's 1840's, only single sentence, called troop movements, can't recall the paper, might have been the London Gazette. It was very Gr

Thought the same Ben, but where's the facts? Stuart, thanks for link, I have downloaded a few war diaries over the years. Excellent emotive reads.. but WW1 only. I've never been able to put a name to the 'author's,' The 'best' are..in my opinion, written by junior staff Officer's... Cross reference with the division can also also provide a rewarding insight. Back to pre 1910.. i have Nothing! Musket training in Newark? 1880's, anybody suggest a potential venue?

Love the window street view.. I can't recall it.. Total rebuild?

I can't find anything about this regiment.. 1870-1910.. Other than Musket training was undertaken in Newark relating to 4th reserve.. Looking at family military records they could have been called into active service in 1899.. Where?

Scotish fusiliers recruited on Bridlesmith Gate..due to deleted numbers.. Less than a third were Scottish by the time of the Somme, second wave, July 13/14th.. Rest in peace..my great uncle..

HSR. Is this what you meant,. Yes, well attended, but amazingly far from maxed out. Stew was the instigator, .. Colin Hodge' was bass, until Jack showed up.. There was one or two other gigs..not personel experience, just computer BS! ..

Surprised there's no reference to the sad passing of Charlie, not even in the defunct obituary thread. Tried to post a song on her from Youtube from the Alexis Korner tribute gig at the Palais.. No play unless you take the Google app! They move fast....only cut browser download plug in's about 3 months ago. IMonthly subscription??

Found another, Gong 1991, I"m confused, hardly the most commercial artists even in their day! Castle Communications releases? Straight to VHS / DVD. Like to know if they rented the studio or brought in their own crew?

Thinking it was about '85, remember seeing WASP at the Palais, Mon/Tues night, Wrathchid supporting. Not a huge fan of either, too busy playing pooyan over the road at space city but had previously bought a ticket. Anybody else attend? remember outside? Madam X, roughly 2 Weeks later was cancelled...

The Beachcomber was in this vicinity..which building? Way before my time, but I'm guessing, gig wise, underground, access from the courtyard? Orginally, the Garage covered both buildings, courtyard in latter-day was closed.. Never found an answer to this, I would love to know..
