Craig Strongman 13 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Ash, youre mind is playing tricks on you! The Dungeon wasnt licensed at all, and sold only soft drinks, and, I would say tea and coffee, but Im not certain of that last bit........? They certainly didnt have a "closing" slot. As for the allnightrers, they were 8 till 8 I recall, or was it 10 till 8, now my minds playing me up!! I certainly do remember your parkha flapping about on that bike too!

Ashley 288 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 You're right Craig, at least re the all nighters, the 12.01am one I recall was at the palais, could have sworn booze was on sale at the dungeon? mind you with Jimi on stage who needs drink Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jan kononowicz 8 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 !bravo! LADIES AND GENTLEFOLKS, Jan had a brain storm about the raid at the DUNGEON CLUB. I went to my Doctor's to find the exact date I had my in growing toe operation It was done on Friday 10th March 1967 so the raid I can confirm happened on Saturday11th /Sunday 12th March 1967........ Pete C .Yes G. G.did live in Gedling he also joined the Army became a Redcap.. He now lives in mapperley and I see him two or three times a week. Craig . How are you not heard from you for a while. You must be making too much money. Still waiting for that first drink you promised in 1970??????????????. Brief update on STu Morris,,,,,,had a new knee put in couple of weeks ago,came home. Wound would not heal? so gone back in for a operation to sort it out and will be in for a couple of weeks. I.m popping up to see him next week. KEEP ON KEEPING ON Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete C 2 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I went to G. G. house once thats why I knew he lived in Gedling..think we called him G. G. because we couldn't say his last name..Polish or something..if its the same guy then I have a picture of him in the school cross country team. Hope Stu goes on alright on his return to hospital..only knew him by sight...couldn't really miss him could you....pass my regards on to G. G. pete c....still riding a vespa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete C 2 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Anyone know if it was the Original Drifters, Bill Pinkneys Drifters..the Invitations posing as the Drifters or the real Drifters who were due to appear on the night of the raid!!! pete c....still riding a vespa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Ha ha ha! Nice one Pete, thats why in an earlier post, I thought it was the "Fabulous" Temptations we were expecting! Not the real ones, hence the Fabulous word. I really dont know why I got that wrong, as I remember enthusing about the Drifters on the night! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete C 2 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 There were a lot of fakes around then Craig...did Mick Parker know he was booking fake acts?....I often took album covers with me to see if they looked the same...a lot of people thought they were seeing the real thing...even the Boat Club had a fake Don Covay on once..I was very disappointed he wasn't the real deal..we were ripped off. Don't know if you have heard but an original copy of Frank Wilson's Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)..is being auctioned and is expected to fetch around £25,000!!!!this copy belonged at one time to your mate Kev Roberts..auction ends 30th April. pete c....still riding a vespa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 what was mick parker's partner called? something hopkins? surprised no one's mentioned Terry Flyn either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Ash, Terry Flynn has been mentioned a good few times. Pete, as I understood it, the copy being auctioned at present, is a 3rd "find" and not the one that Kenny Burrel has............. I stand to be corrected though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete C 2 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Craig according to this months Record Collector it is the Kenny Burrell copy but on the actual auction site it says it belongs to Tim Brown..Record Collector says Tim Brown had two copies and sold one to Kenny for £15,000 12 years ago. The bids stand at £24735 at the moment and can be viewed at http://www.raresoulman.co.uk I won't be bidding!!! pete c....still riding a vespa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Wish I knew how to do a "link", sorry, but, if you go to the Goldmine web site, and stick in this......"rare Frank Wilson 45 could fetch $100000" It says the version that Kev Roberts had, was not the same copy that Kenny Burrell owns, and gives info on how the track was lent to Wigan jock Russ Winstanley, it was played at The Casino, but somehow developed an edge warp, but still eventually changed hands for £5000 ! According to that site it was Motown sound engineer Ron Murphy's copy that Kenny bought. (referred to as the second copy) for £15K. It is this one, again, according to them, that is the one being auctioned. PS, it doesnt mention Brown having two copies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 To do a 'link........just copy ( on right click ) the address at the top o the page and then paste it here...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete C 2 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Record Collector mag must have some of their facts wrong then Craig..still an amazing price for an old record!!! pete c....still riding a vespa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dobby 0 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Def no booze in Dungeon or Mojo. We used to go in Yates offy and buy VP wine to take up to Sheffield with us if we were going to all nighter from the Dungeon. We all had rounded "weekend cases" we used to put it in and if Terry Flynne used to see them he took them off us. Remember being on the bus on Stamford street - women had to go upstairs and be searched by a policewoman. = di we ever get our money refunded? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 hi dobby...think we didn't get any money back after the raid !! remember going up to the belvedere club after as the last bus had gone and don't think anyone thought of a taxi!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jan kononowicz 8 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 NEED HELP.??????? Trying to find out what happened to Gail and Monica who used to go to the Dungeon and the Twisted Wheel.they lived Beeston or chilwell way. They had a friend Sue who moved to America. Gail and Monica were brill dancers and just disappeared after the Wheel closed down...Can anyone help out. KEEP ON KEEPING OUT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dobby 0 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Was with my sister in law when the raid happened and she was so worried her mother would find out she had been invloved in a police raid - even though she was married at the time!! In those days I don't think I had ever been in a taxi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Strongman 13 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Talking of taxis, about the time I started to go to the Dungeon, a mate had his first ever job delivering coal. At the end of the week, he would go to Stephensons on Hyson Green, or Jeffs on Alfreton rd, and buy a pair of light grey trousers, which were worn for best Friday Saturday and Sunday, and then for work all week, and the process continued, Friday, new trews, wear them for the weekend, and then for for work all week..........ad infinitum, but on the Friday night, he would pay for a taxi for us to just ride around town until his money had been used up, whereby we then headed back to the Market Square, to hang around. It happened every single week for as long as I can remember! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
