Looks like most of the people I knew moved away from the area, or dont know about Accy Web, It would be interesting to know what they are doing now. Or maybe they are not sentimental like me.

I was thinking that way myself...

Hmmm ... guys from the 60s we had a crush on - how do we know they won't be Accywebbers now, and that could be embarrassing! That said, there was one blond guy from the Grammar School that I fancied like mad when I was about 15 .....

Can anyone get a photo of the Blue Daliha, to put on here , just to bring back the memories. Long live the deck, dont let this thread die.

WillowTheWhisp · 17-03-2005, 22:01

Oh the Blue Dahlia.

I would love to see a piccie of it if anybody has one.

Wynonie Harris · 18-03-2005, 07:44

Yeah, I'd love to see a pic of the Dahlia, too. Sadly, no one ever thought of taking photos at the time, as we were too busy enjoying ourselves! Just moving out of town slightly, has anyone got any memories of the Jazz Club? I used to love that place! Always a great atmosphere, a well-stocked bar (and they weren't too fussy about how old you looked!) and you could have a bop to the Riverside Jazzmen! Everything, in fact, for a great night out!

WillowTheWhisp · 18-03-2005, 07:46

I have to admit to having "sneaked" in there too when I was far too young to go to such places. Not that you actually needed to sneak where the Jazz Club was concerned and not that I liked jazz either but it was just one of those things you did.

Wynonie Harris · 18-03-2005, 08:27

I never liked jazz much either, especially the sort of trad jazz that the Riverside Jazzmen played. But it seemed great after the fifth pint!

Alan Gilmartin · 22-03-2005, 20:30

As you Know Wynonnie I loved the Jazz Club to, Sunday nights, saw Kenny Ball, Chris Barber, my brother Kevin and his wife worked behind the bar. hard to believe it was just a wooden hut. Garth Dawson, must have photos of Blue Dahlia and the Jazz Club. maybe, Atarha can help or Owd Bert.

reading the replys,noticed nobody remembers the no1 stall,as a popular meeting place in the 60s,people used to come round from the deck for the crack.anyone else remember or what?

Wynonie Harris · 24-03-2005, 10:19

Yeah, Al, just a wooden hut, but what a wooden hut! And don't forget, apart from the jazz nights, the club also hosted folk, blues and rock bands. One night in 1969 I saw a black American guy called Champion Jack Dupree give a stunning recital of piano blues...one of the best performances I've ever seen in my life.

I remember it well. It was a meeting place/hanging out place for us girls. Also the sunspot on Church St. Never played the machines much, just hung around there.

It was late sixtys, I remember when they opened the Wimpy across from the market hall/Town hall and gave everyone free tickets for Hamburgers, it was great sport trying to get as many as you could
