jonab 1,644 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Pimp and brothel keeper under the guise of a theatrical impresario. Poor man's Hugh Heffner. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,721 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Didn't know the bloke but I did go to the original 'Pete Stringfellow's King Mojo Club' in Sheffield. Around 1967.. when we used to hitch to a different club every weekend before I strted DJ in myself. No booze inside. You had to go to the pub across the road. They served that strange Yorkshire Light Mild, which was rubbish.. but better than most Dark Mild.. Anyway. The bloke was obviously a bit of a lad but I doubt he meant any harm and he certainly did me none. RIP 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did that circuit (only once) from the Nottingham Dungeon, to The Mojo for an all nighter, then on to The Twisted Wheel in Manchester for an all dayer on the Sunday. Had a ball! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Remember seeing him DJing down the Dungeon a few times, always a character and a shame he’s gone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 A terrible shame indeed. Another life ruined by drugs. I'll listen to Dragonfly on utube later. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is a question but in my opinion it was, the Peter Green (inc Danny Kirwan) version of Fleetwood Mac that was the best. I still have that cassette that I bought in Japan, somewhere, but nothing to play it on. Black Magic Woman, Albatros, Man of the World. Oh Well, Dragonfly etc - Great 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 No Martyn, my mates Tim Dale, John Burden, Eddy Salter and Michael Coombes did. We all attended Forest Fields Grammar School between 1956 - 64ish. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Possibly. He was very clever. Blonde haired lad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of my mates went to Forest Fields but they would have started there in 61. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
