Merlinsky 0 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Frequented this area around the early seventies, henry hallam,John mills, Gordon long, Terry myers, Barry hall, mungo Jerry and Ivor ward. All good blokes but alas doubt if any remain, and a shout out to Jean Harvey another nice girl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,468 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Give us a clue......for those who don't know (which is probably quite a few) where was Mr Millers nightclub ? I may have just answered my own question. It seems to have been on Bridlesmith Gate and was the same place as The Hippo/Coco Tang/ and various others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,511 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I never went to Mr Millers but did frequent the Hippo in the early 70s, in fact I went in the Hippo the night I met my future husband, after starting the evening in The Flying Horse. A good friend of mine (and HippoGirl) is Nottstalgian Moz and he has a website detailing a very comprehensive list of venues we used to know in the good old days. If interested look up http://www.scenebeforeinnottingham.wordpress.com The clubs are in the ‘Clubs and Venues’ section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MRS B 522 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 The link brought back a whole lot of memories about the Dancing Slipper in WB, the Union Boat Club, Scamps, the Sandpiper, Hippo and the 99 above the WB Hotel. Good times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Mr Millers seemed to have opened Dec 1972 at 45 Bridlesmith Gate and the theme seemed to be (not unsurprisingly) big band music including Glen Miller , though no doubt that changed in time ? Can't see any other mention or adverts after 1978. It appears to have been run by Tony Etridge who also had other venues in town . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Were those the premises that became Camelot later in the 70s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,468 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 If you scroll down to Bridlesmith Gate, the answer appears to be Yes. https://scenebeforeinnottingham.wordpress.com/home/places/clubs/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
