Frank 13 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Sorry it's a late response but being a newbie, i'm viewing old threads on a regular basis to catch up. Looks like we've crossed paths in the past then Mick as I used to visit the Slipper above the Co-oP in the early 70's - despite being married at the time As they say, small world.

mick2me 3,033 Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Yes Probably Frank. The slipper was actually above some kind of service garage? You went upstairs and turned left, The small ticket was on the left, gents bog on right. Then there were two double doors to the main dancefloor Entering that, to your left was a corner bar. The barman was a welsh guy, Ron. and a lady who's name escapes me? In the center of the left wall was the DJ stand where I would be. on the right was a second bar which was set back, and if not busy that area would be curtained off. At the far end was a small stage, later used by the dj's. Myself and Barry at that time. On that same stage played Cozy Powell. I picked up one of his personolized drumsticks broken during his gig. Kept it for some years, then never saw it again? In the late 60's it would have been Mad Mike (as opposed to mad mick) and another guy who's name also escapes me. I remember records played in that era, 'Johnnie Remember me' and 'Ghost riders in the sky', Lulu Shout. Ah those were the days Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Was the slipper still going as a dance hall/Jazz venue in the 80's? Welcome Jonesy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZZER 10 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 We used to go there (from Gedling) every Friday - mid to late 60's. It was always free, or at least they let us in free. I remember it well, cos the first time they charged to get in, was when Bonzo Dog Do Dah band were on. I can't remember the actual fee, but it put a lot of people off at the time,,,, but little did they know what a geat show it was. It was more than a night out for us, as my mates & I might not get home until late Saturday or Sunday - those were the days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
