Bennerley 19 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Him my names Dave, I was born and bred in Sneinton, I moved to Ilkeston just seven years ago. I started my musical adventures at the Wembley Club at the bottom of Lichfield Road, Jack Britton was the owner and I was a friend of Tony Britton, we used to see The Jaybirds with Graham Barnes (Alvin Lee) and Reg Guest, or we used to pop over Rossington Road to the March Hare where the landlord George famously turned down the Beatles for wanting too much money ! I went to school with Mick Dale and together we honed our own musical skills at his house on Port Arthure Road and later joined the emerging 60's folk and blues scene, Mick to the electric blues scene and me to the more sedate acoustic scene although we would team up again to play in a band called the Hound Dogs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Welcome to Nottstalgia Bennerley. You mention Port Arthur Road. My dad lived at number 19 when he was 6 years old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
