alisoncc 379 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Wasn't there a Rock and Roll movie that came out in 1957/58/59 with Bill Haley and the Comets, or was it another group. I remember going to see it at the Odeon on Arkwright Street (???) with my sister. I was tapping my feet to the music when a policeman came down the aisle and told me to stop or I would be thrown out. I think there was some kind of expectation that youngsters would get out of hand during the showing, hence there were police on hand. Alison Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure you are right...recall seeing it at the old Aspley cinema, in it's pre-Commodore days... Wouldn't stake my dwindling reputation on it, but........"Blackboard Jungle"???? Cheers Robt P.

Frank 13 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'm sure you are right...recall seeing it at the old Aspley cinema, in it's pre-Commodore days... What was the old cinema type building half way up Aspley Lane? About 300 yds up from Melbourne Road after the shops on the left. Used to have a Safe Company in there I think - might be wrong but I'm going back some now.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob237 89 Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Reckon not Craig..... Frank's query seems to relate to the 'Forum' [aka the 'Flea Pit'] on Aspley Lane...which was a different cinema to the 'Aspley'/'Commodore' on Nuthall Road. Cheers Robt P.

DJ360 6,712 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 The Duke in Harlem. Duke Ellington R&B at the Marquee. Alexis Korner's Blues Inc. Both around 1962/3. First single was 'Wanna Be Your Man' by the Rolling Stones on Decca. Who'd have thought they'd become so collectable... Col Quote Link to post Share on other sites
