Malcolm Pritchard 0 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hi I am Malcolm Pritchard. Just turned 73 years old. As a child and teenager I used to live in central Nottingham. In the mid 60's I used to frequent the Dancing Slipper in West Bridgford with 3 or 4 friends. Loved to watch and listen to local bands on a Friday night, especially the Jaybirds. Also enjoyed the trad jazz on Saturday nights. We used to chat to a small group of local girls, who were all very nice. It was a wonderful period of my life. I would love to know what happened to those girls. One was Jan Crockford. Her surname will almost certainly be different now through marriage. I think one of her friends was Judy. Tall pleasant girl. We used to also see these girls at the YMCA in Nottingham - again, to see local bands like the Jaybirds. Since that time I have lived and worked in Oxford and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, but came back to Nottingham about 27 years ago and now live in West Bridgford. I would like to here of any Dancing Slipper memories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you want memories of the Dancing Slipper, there's an old thread here with a lot of posts on the subject. https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/2835-dancing-slipper-central-ave-wb/?tab=comments#comment-24121 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 There is also a thread called Local Traditional Jazz 50's and 60's, that mentions the Dancing Slipper. My Tablet won't let me copy and paste the thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
