admin 21 Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 In the early 70's, I was the DJ there, tried to upmarket the clientels taste in music. Can you remember a Record I used to play, and I called it "Feel your knees in Me!" Everyone asked for it by that name after that. What was the real name of the song, Who was it by, and what record was always played side by side with it? Thats a hard one unless you know B) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

picko 5 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I first went to the slipper in 1969 and then spent every Monday Wednesday and Friday in there Bill on the door or Laurence in the cloak room used to hand out the free entry tickets mainly on a Friday night for entry on the Monday or Wednesday just so that they had customers free tickets were hard to come by for Friday as it was always packed, I don't remember paying to get in any night as Laurence was a neighbour and family friend, I met my wife in the slipper she was going out with my mate but was using him to get close to me clever move this year we celebrate 40 years of married life. I also went to the Boat club Trent bridge on Saturday night and the union club Trent bridge on Sunday night. My wages back then was £5 5s 10p I paid 10s 8p in national insurance and took home £4 15s 2p my mother took £3 off me every week for my board it left me with £1 15s 2p and with that I was out clubbing it and drinking 5 nights a week wish I could do it today 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
