I used to frequent the "Frog and Toad" on Little Horton Lane in the 1980's, it was a great live music venue, I saw "Paradise Lost", "The Macc Lads" and "Dumpy's Rusty Nuts" play there.
Interesting but it would be better if the pictures of the venues followed the commentary. ie talk about the venue that is shown on screen. Just a suggestion.
What a great video. In the early 1970s, I was a student in Bradford and we went to the Queens Hall Nightclub. It was packed with young students. I met my wife there and we are still together 44 years later! For me Bradford provided the best nightlife in Britain. We went to other towns but none quite as good as Bradford, especially when you factor in the fantastic post night out curry houses like the Cashmire and a dozen others. Happy memories indeed! i know it was good then because people from Manchester and Leeds came over regularly for a truly great nightlife experience.
@@Historyofthenorth Queen's Hall was next to the Alambra, I tell a lie, it was 1974 I first went there, 50 years ago! it seems like just yesterday. As an impoverished student we could not afford the nightclubs you mentioned. But just your mentioning them brings back many memories as they were locally famous. I must say you have done a great job putting this project together, thank you.👍
@@richardtorr4553 The only thing I'd have done differently would be to have synced the venues and commentary together but it was my 3rd video of what is now around 50 🙂
Steelers, Thornton in the 80`s. I`m not even from Bradford. Palm Cove, the Jamaican club in Girlington, forgotten the street name. Sugar Cane at Whetley junction just to name a few. Then there`s the underground places like Ali`s Mill ,Preston street/ Thornton Road for all nighters. The infamous but obviously not that infamous 1 in 12 club just off Sunbridge road. Queens Hall held special events and bands once upon a time in town.
You forgot... Pentagon and Annabellas.. I met my missus at Mecca in 1977 and saw numerous bands there in the 1980s. Some of the pubs i remember are Boy and Barrel, Duchess of Kent, Golden Cockerel, Empress, tavern in the town, The metropole, Market tavern, Cellar bar (met my first girlfriend in there), Sun Inn, Royal Standard (some great punk nights there until it burnt down) Belle Vue (strippers on a dinnertime before the city game) Norfolk Gardens, Harp of Erin, New Beehive, Lord Clyde, Black Swan, The Crown, Yates`s, Pack Horse, The Castle, The Office, Spotted House, The Turf, Painted wagon, jacobs well, the star, The Commercial, Gas works,
1968.. "The Penny Farthing"..Downtown Broadway, 1967, Mecca Ballroom...Manningham Lane. 1965 ,"The hole in The wall", ,Sundbridge road. 1968,, Little Horton Lane , ( Next to the ice rink).. don't remember the name........maybe I'm too old to remember.
Think first nightclub I went to was physiecs he's (unsure of spelling) but was just off/start of canal road I believe, in late 90s then another of our favourites was boiler house near forscester square train station, used to enter in dark and leave in daylight and they give tea and toast ha ha, the other night cubs late 90s to early 2000s didn't quite hit the spot, as from ScholeMoor /lower Grange areas, pile bar was often visited, moved to Liverpool in 2008 so this video brings back some good memories so thankyou. I never knew it but at edge of ScholeMoor cemetery used to be OK corale club/pub my parents always used to say was great, they probably went there late 70s
Cavernas closed and the site remained a club that changed hands a few times and had other names including Jumping Jacks. The Love Apple and Mode were in the same building but didn't occupy any of the space that Cavernas had. Closed list. Scruffs and Snobs Dukes and Silks Blue Lace Lingards Palm Cove Cavernas Jumping Jacks Love Apple Walkabout Livingstones Revolution Gas Works Rios Frog and Toad Wheatsheaf Windsor Baths (where many of your photos are from) Flares College bar in Old Building W's Underworld Champagnes Tumblers Pickwicks 42nd Street Flagship Che/Bamboozle Cloud 9 Others whose names escape me right now.
@@gaz4840 Thanks. I did go in the Olympus a few times. I remember the video for Madonna's Vogue being on the TV last time I went in there. I've corrected the spelling of Scruffs and Snobs and Bamboozle too.
@@leetaylor13 Lee, watch Billy Liar to see what the Mecca was like in the 60s, some great footage of Bradford too in that era.i would go to the Mecca on a saturday morning aged about 13 and we would do "The March of the Mods" around the dancefloor..! I met my future wife in the Mecca in 1977, I used to meet her outside WH Smiths on Cheapside, even to this day i can still remember her walking down from Manor Row swinging her handbag and she was so pretty and vivacious... We would meet in The Duchess of Kent sometimes, this was where all the BCFC Ointment crew would hang out too, sadly its closed now but great days, so many people we knew, so many gorgeous girls and so many fights we used to get into
It used to be a good night out now all pubs and night clubs shut, wonder why? Like a ghost town on an evening now with a few zombies walking around, your photos dont match your commentary.

Was there a Commonwealth curry house near Berlins?
