Name slips me

[martymont]

Anybody know the name of the record shop that was in Keppel Street, (what its name was in the late 60s) got all my Sounds, NME there as well as listen to the music.

[Jarrow Pete]

Savilles, they used to be in King Street in the 60s. Pete Edmunsen also had a record shop but I think that was opposite St Hidas church yard where Chris B Watsons was.

[gag]

Spot on Pete, Im sure the shop in Keppel Street used to be Burstros before Savilles took it over.

cheers.

gag.

[Pilot]

To be honest I think it was a Beatles album when it was new out.

[Wigwam]

Wasn't the Penthouse club round there somewhere?

[Pilot]

Yes up stairs on the corner of Keppel Street and Fowler Street I might not have been big in buying records but I frequented clubs in the 1960s

[Wigwam]

Ever get to Franchis in Jarrow Pilot?

[martymont]

Thanks. Now I remember they had the best selection of LPs and a few bootlegs as well got some great ones.

Jarrow was a bit far out for me, the furthest we got to was the 21 club at Tyne Dock, but my number one choice was the old Cellar club in Beach Road. The Latino was for more sophisticated nights and the Ranchouse if you were slumming it The Beach club for a bit of illegal gambling, La Strada for grab a granny Did I miss any, probably

[Pilot]

Come to think of it the Latino wasn't that sophisticated, do you remember the raised stage and the dances where they stopped the music and said things like....anyone with a tie on take it off.......anyone with a jacket take it off.....if you refused you had to leave the stage till there was only one person left.....I chickened out at Y fronts and socks never won once.

You're right Pilot the cellar club was great. I'm sure that's where the whole Bailey organisation sprang from.

Pete Edmonds(on) 1st record shop was in Ocean Road between Dickson Pork Shop andMr Peasbodys (now Nobles) he later took over what was Savilles turning it into Shields 1st Wine Bar Bensons with his mate Byron.
