I remember those days with HUGE fondness (a bit earlier than this though - early 80s) - I was very often the only "whitey" there at Hyson Green blues and also Radford Youth Club (known as Rad Y)! I used to follow and sometimes help (moving speaker boxes) Kingston A1 Sound System!!

Give me toasting and dub reggae over rap any day of the week, way more melodic and tuneful, it was around this time that black youths started being moor influenced by us rap rather than reggae.

[@scooby1992]

I remember being invited to a club off Alfreton Road ( called Club One I think ) near Ronald and Boden Streets ( it was demolished a few years ago ) . I didnt know what to do as although I was with a black man I worried that I would be the only white man in there and would have stuck out like a sore thumb ! It is sad to see no real clubs any more and a lot of the pubs have closed like The Windmill near what was KFC on the corner of Independent Street and the two pubs either side of Forest Road near to Alfreton Road . I did get to go a few times to Sky Club which was down an alleyway further out of town near to Bobbers Mill and Churchfield Lane .Happy days .

[@lunadevass5715]

I remember seeing this on the Tele.

[@snakecharmerism]

Anyone know the bar that was run by an old couple in a terraced house on Ilkeston or Alfreton Road not too far from canning circus? Went there as late as 96 if I remember right. Never met anyone in Notts who knows where I'm on about.

[@quantro65]

Yes Mama Rosie's cafe on Ilkeston rd. Opposite jolly higglers pub.

The Blues was in a disused supermarket in Hyson Green

[@quantro65]

Yes that's correct Saffron , I think it was called twopenny blues , if my memory serves me correctly but don't quote me. It was a great spot on Radford Road & it came about right after they knocked Hyson Green flats where blues parties were held since the early 70s but knocked down 87/88. Oh yea that blues spot was owned by a man named Mickey Spillini . a real Top man on the front line plus one of the first driver dons with his Audi Quattro. Good times on the front line. :-)
