Rock around the Clock, Bill Haley
 

Can anybody remember going to see the film 'Rock Around The Clock' with Bill Haley..in the 1950's it was shown at either the Kings Hall or the Ritz..not sure which one..but I lived in Crawshaw Street and my friends were Barbara Gudgeon and Lily Smith, (does anybody know them, would love to make contact again),
we danced in the streets all the way home...that film seem to change our lives.

I saw it at the Palladium in Ossy about 56 or 57

I saw it in Burnley, went straight from work - so that had to be '56/57.

was it not at the "Princes or Empire" in Accy?:confused: seem to remember it yon.

I danced in the aisles at the Palladium, but I can't say it changed my life.

Hiya Cashy, no definitely not on at Empire or Princes, (Edgar Street)...I lived in Crawshaw Street (next to Edgar St)..and I remember dancing all the way home, down Peel St..along Blackburn Road, down School Street and home.:)

Re: Rock around the Clock, Bill Haley
 

Well if ya remember dancing down Peel st, musta bin the "Bug Hut" or the "Palace":)

Re: Rock around the Clock, Bill Haley
 

was the 'Bug Hut' the Kings Hall? sure that is where I saw it...

Re: Rock around the Clock, Bill Haley
 

Sorry, must have been the Palace. The "Bug Hut" was always years behind with new films, unless you are talking of much later then 56/57

Re: Rock around the Clock, Bill Haley
 

it was played at the ritz ..church st

Re: Rock around the Clock, Bill Haley
 

yes it must have been 56/57, and could have been The Palace....wasn't it at the top of Peel St on the right hand corner?
Amazing to think how many Picture Houses there were in Accrington in those days..

Re: Rock around the Clock, Bill Haley
 

my memory must be playing tricks... I was sure we came home via Peel St..but maybe it was Church Street.... Anyway we had a fab night and really enjoyed ourselves...:)

It was the Ritz - I remember seeing you. White ankle socks and a dirndel(?) skirt. You had a pony tail.

Re: Rock around the Clock, Bill Haley
 

in the words of Frank Ifield...' I remember you oooo' :) I think I had pig tails:)

Hell Bob - you certainly have a memory for details - girl's clothing details that is?
