Some great nights in there, yes the beer was awful slalom lager i think, it got a bit of a makeover early 80s when a manc bought it but the same clientele . Remember Jack & Vera Duckworth judging a talent night in there and some very leary Christmas dos. Stones bitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the best club nights were when it wasnt spinning. The names they pulled there is quite astonishing looking back, armin van buren, above and beyond etc. Talking world stars. Madness it was on my doorstep. @Escobarp I just missed out in sequins mate. Earliest clubbing days were Zone, the palace and later on heaven and hell. Syndicate opened and wiped the floor with everything. Those smaller nights didnt stand a chance and they hit jackpot as headline Dj's were just becoming mainstream.

About 60 in , spoke to him afterwords . Not at all like his supposed media image. Salford Jets Rocking Horse . Always a good night but the beer was shite. Gave me a bad head everytime. Salford Jets? Were they actually a thing? Got a mate who used to be in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew how to keep a decent pint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, he called me about a year ago to try and sort out some PR work for Mike Sweeney. Hes made a mint doing Ice shows, lives in Moscow now most of the time.

Just for you mate 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to watch Salford Jets around 1979/80 ish at some boozer in Swinton (Duke of Welly?) Decent enough live, sort of a placcy post punk band, but they didn't take themselves too seriously.

Bear's Paw still there - was called Brass Cat last time I was a town regular, which dates me. Millstone still there though you can't cut through from Crown Street to Bank Street anymore, nor access from Bank Street. They have AA and NA meetings in a Church Hall next door 😃 it was the Golden Lion in my time! Remember chatting up a lass in the Chip Inn next to the Boars at the end of a night. Told her I worked on the rigs as an underwater bricklayer togged up in a diving suit putting the footings in. Her mate asked my pal what he did, he replied he was my hod carrier 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salford Jets - Wrestling and a Stripper . Thursday nights . They don’t do pubs like that anymore. And that was all on the same night.
