In the early 1970's, I used to drink in the Adega Bar on weekend nights, the Adega later became the Continental Bar. When the Adega closed for the night, I'd go down to Clarence's night club on Crown Street, it was on two floors above the Dolcis shoe shop. On Friday's and Saturday's there was always great live music on at Clarence's. A few years later, I bought a motorcycle, I'd park my bike outside Clarence's and drink cans of Vimto all night so that I was safe to ride home afterwards. There was always a hotdog stall on Crown Street outside the ginnel that led to Clarence's, we could smell the onions cooking all the way along Crown Street. Happy Daze.
Great video.The Tram shed club was down the street that now has a shutter in front it was owned by Mr Dobby who also owned a record shop next door he turned it into a pub later,he also owned a Pizza place.you missed the Continental bar further down than Lewins and at the back of the Acapulco club now a car park was Tiffany’s night club.
Thanks for that. Probably not a good sign that I couldn't remember where the Tram shed was....vague blurry memories 😅. Not heard of Cobtinental, but, yes. I remember Tiffany's now you've mentioned it. Glad you enjoyed watching. All the best 👍
Takes Me back too many years to my local club scene , good video and thanks for the effort in putting it together., Tiffany's was the one iteration of the Building (Run by two thugs from the South), Scene was earlier occupant with its twin dance floors (Scene 3 & 4) from my memory. The carpets here were wet with beer every night and cleaned every Saturday and Sunday morning, the bleach cleaned away the blood too from the moire active punters . Scene 3 was more cozy but Scene 4 was the place to be , the DJ's were on an upper level looking down but in Scene 3 the punters could get close enough to touch you. PA was crap in both, under amped and faded out as the night went on but if you wanted loud music a visit to Perl Pailings club was essential , Perl was lovely and she always gave us a pass out to the White Swan over the road to get a real drink . I played the turntables (DJ) at Pearls and Tiffany's but favourite place to work was upstairs at the Royal Oak, the Halifax soul crowd were dedicated with their baggies and sweaty t shirts and tight tops . It was hard place work with a narrow staircase (Fire Escape ?) but what the hell it was the early 70's . , If he is still alive you could try Stuart Midgeley from Spin A Spin A Disk Promotions or Dave from DRM , who will have real intimate knowledge to the venues and especially the pubs at that time.@@matparks08

Remember drinking in the sportsman in the early seventies- there was also a dance hall called pailings which was popular at that time
Cheers for the comment. Yeah, I've heard of that....I'll see if I can find out where it used to be 😊
