Pete C 2 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Did anyone go to the Crossed Keys Club which was in St Peter's Church Hall on St. Peter's Street, Radford between 1965-67..we used to have the dance area under the stage..as you went down the steps there was a large girder above with the words "Mind Ye Nut"..I was the DJ there and played all the soul and motown that I heard down at the Dungeon Club. pete c....still riding a vespa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete C 2 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hey must be somebody who remembers this club..we used to get lots of people in from around the Radford area..it's getting a bit lonely in here on my own!!..remember the vicar that rented the hall out to us..miserable old git called Vicar Lemon..he reckoned it was pronounced Leemon but we called him Lemon..the dance floor was under the stage..when we moved to the Rad Y on Ilkeston Road it was run by a one armed guy called Ray Woodhouse..will try and remember the names of some of the people that used to come down to these 2 clubs and put them on my next post. pete c....still riding a vespa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I lived on the corner of Norton Street and Hartley Road. In 1968, I had just left school, and would travel to The Santa Fe' in the Meadows. I never knew there was such a club in Radford run by the local church? Come to think of It Santa Fe' was run by the church next door, St Faiths? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete C 2 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Ah Mick that's because we were kicked out of the church hall in 67 bit of trouble with a few greasers that came in..fight broke out they got hammered and my friends that did it got borstal..even made the Evening Post..so we had to relocate to the Rad Y on Ilkeston Road...I knew about the Santa Fe' but never went there..spent a lot of time around the Hartley Road area in those days..used to be a second hand record shop on there where I spent some of my hard earned cash..used to go in the Boulevard pub in 68/69 upstairs in their bit of a disco and as you already know I worked for a short while at Marathon Knitwear..nicking knickers!! pete c....still riding a vespa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete C 2 Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 The car was on old ford pop..it belonged to Roger Lewin..he's the guy sunbathing on top..a lot of mods at that time had minivans..with stripes down the middle and large numbers on the doors..some had a big tank aerial fastened to the rear bumper..Roger couldn't afford a minivan so he got the ford pop instead for £15.00!! and modded it up. pete c....still riding a vespa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radford old gal 0 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Yep, Chick Zamick did play ice hockey, it was a combined dry cleaners and hairdressers. Mal worked at Woollies, think it was the sweet counter, mind you she was sweet enough.Up round the corner was the Dungeon Club, Stanhope Street- we used to go on a Sunday afternoon, or is my memory confused- Sunday, was it open in the afternoons?
