sorry all , nudging this every so often because I would love to make contact with someone who especially went to the Experience Club. New people are joining up who may relate to this, so with a lot of grovelling to all, I will nudge this once in a while

Cheers Al

That's right Lynda, the Mayfair used to be called the Royal! AL

Hi Al,

Out of that lot you used to go to, I went to the Empire and was Mayfair in Tottenham once the Tottenham Royal? If so, went there once or twice. Used to go drinking around Stepney around 1969-1970, The Black Boy was a fave haunt.

I'll get in touch with my mate she'll remember the pubs we used to go to around Bethnal Green/Stepney and will let you know.

Those were the days eh...

I used to go to the Empire, Leicester Square, Lyceum and Stringfellows up in Town. Used to pop into Peppermint Park before going into Stringgies! My mates and I used to share one of their huge desserts! I also went to Eltons, The Coolbury Club and the Mayfair in Tottenham, the Royalty in Southgate, Fagans and Bumbles in Woodgreen. Was out clubbing nearly every night! When we weren't clubbing we used to spend a lot of time in the pubs around Bethnal Green, Hackney and Mile End. AL

I used to go to clubs probably more in late 60's went to The Macbre, The Scene, Whiskey-a-go-go, Lyceum, Empire, La Discotheque and St Anne's (I think it was called just around the corner from Empire) I remember the name La Poubelle! what street was it on. I worked at the time in wardour street.
Carol

In 1966/7 I had a few months of visiting London every weekend, from the sticks of wild Norwich lol when my then boyfriend was doing chef training at an hotel in Russell Sq. I would stay with a pal who had a bedsit in Victoria while she was studying in London, and my boyfriend would take me to Ronnie Scotts and Club 100 where I saw Humphrey Lyttleton and other wellknown artists including Elkie Brooks. One night we went back to her home in Hither Green with her, Pete Gage (her man of the time) and more people, and stayed overnight. The next morning loads more folk came round including Ebony Keyes? who was helping do some auditions for people to join a band. Was very exciting for someone from Norfolk!
Then I had an argument with boyfriend and told him to disappear rather rapidly!
Last I saw of him was standing on the platform at the station looking a bit taken aback!
