Scriv 168 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Am i correct in recalling that there was a permanent "blacklist" in the Horse of songs which, if played, resulted in the witholding of the band's fee? ISTR "Johnny B. Goode" was at the top of said list! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 So they should...lol. 'Johnny B. Goode' is not the song you want to hear from a blues band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 RIP Barry. He was always a good laugh and very forthright wit his views. I saw him heckle the Stu Page band many years ago because the weren't rockin' it loud enough. One of the best !!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,281 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 What is the situation with The Spread Eagle on Alfreton Rd these days? My grandparents, aunties and uncles lived next door and I spent a lot of time there in the 40's and 50's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 The ex-Spread Eagle now looks like this. https://goo.gl/maps/FRP0L .....but it's been closed for several years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 It looks in good condition to say it's been closed for several years, Cliff Ton. I notice some of the windows are open so it's possible that the upstairs rooms are flats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 You could be right Michael; probably become student flats. Chopin's doesn't seem to have had a very long life according to Companies House. https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/chopins-bars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJBrenton 738 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Wasn't it a lap dancing club before it became Chopin's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
