Moz 164 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Just before my time I was around in 1966/7 and recall the mohair suits with the vents, pockets and buttons on sleeves. I still have a mohair jacket made from fabric off the back of a lorry through mates that stood market in Ilkeston and made to measure by a young Mario Joseph in about 67. Prior to that I recall blue pacamacs if you couldn't afford a leather/suede coat, I seem to remember the swish of these as you walked around town. Hush puppies or desert boots, blue denim button down collar shirts with blue knitted tie or roll neck shirts. Did do the drug scene and loved every blessed minute. I remember Mario - he was into ten-pin bowling big time. Just checked him out on Google and see that he was coach for the national Saudi Arabian bowling team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Re #164, "Mod girls dancing at the Mojo club 1965". Looks more like a 'Catholic school girls outing'.I can never remember seeing gals at the Mojo looking so plain. Some of the gals back then, were very individual in the way they dressed and were very attractive. The photo of a member and her friend,standing by the jukebox in the Dungeon,is how I remember the 'Mod gals'. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moz 164 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I’m one of the original Mod voices in a new book available about the Mod culture from the 60s to date, in the voices of the people who were there. My contribution, in words and pictures, covers Nottingham in the 60s, especially one of the best clubs in the country, the Dungeon. Sawdust Caesars: Original Mod Voices by Tony Beesley is published next Thursday, August 21st and available for pre-order now. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

siddha 825 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Great to see can you get cheap copies for web-mates? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vintageann 66 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Got my copy, it's a really substantial book. So far only flicked through and looked at the photos. Some fab ones of Moz as a young mod! Planning to have a proper read of it tonight. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PETE .W 5 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hi..if anyones interested I've got the complete history of artist's who appeared down the Dungeon listed in date order if anyone wants a copy let me via this site and I'll do me best to get it to you..I've already given a copy to Mal,Craig Strongman and Stu Morris.i went down there in the early day does anyone remember the locomotive painted on the wall in front of you as you went down the stairs to the dance floor ?.. Pete Also forgot to mention I've have a photo of a load of us taken outside the council house after watching The Beachcomber football team play 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vintageann 66 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hi Pete. The photos were posted on another thread in 60's Nottingham...'Mystery Mods'. They seem to have been removed now though. There are several threads about the Dungeon, each one worth a read. A question though....no-one seems to know who actually took those two photos. Or who the two girls are. Do you know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnNFFC44 20 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yes i know Stu Morris worked for him at his security firm on mapperley top-Also pete blood yes it was Reg who organised the events for him, Good nite at the commodore- with my mates perfoming with there band Laser-Street- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 39 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I am new to Nottstaglia and being an ex-Dungeon Club member as a young 15 year old in 1967 l have just spent a couple of hours reading all these threads which l thought was just fantastic. I remember most of the names mentioned, knew some but not all. Do any of these names ring a bell, Gerald Bull, Johnnie Hunt, Mick Oates, Dave West, Andrew Treganowan, Mem Rose, Dave Michelle, Graham Smith, Paul Rudkin, Richard Frazier, Curly, Linda Rogers, Marie Keys, but to name a few?

BeestonMick 263 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I worked with Dave Michelle at the ROF and used to meet him out occasionally, either at the Dungeon or the Beachcomber. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 39 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I worked with Dave Michelle at the ROF and used to meat him out occasisonally, either at the Dungeon or the Beachcomber. Hi BeestonMick. I wonder if its the same person. Was he from Bestwood Park and have dark ginger hair? I swapped my racing bike for his guitar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeestonMick 263 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yep, I think his hair was auburn. He was apprenticed at the ROF but I don't think he finished it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
valleymike 2 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Finally found my Dungeon Club membership card, its dated 31/12/1964, expired in Dec 1965. I was according to the card member number "6" , that was something I had forgotten. Happy Christmas to All, from chilly West Virginia. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
