Do you remember the guy everyone was in awe of dancing / popularity etc, Joe Davitt, gees thats a long time ago,

Yep, remember Joe, lived down Charter Street and worked at Milletts on Church Street. Think he lives in London now.

Hi Jaysay, used to go in the Bull qiute often, remember Ernie Gribble and his wife, wonderful couple of people, always remember Ernies cardigans, and the NAME of the way to the toilets, can you remember ??
His son would have played cricket with you and Pete Shorrock and his other son was in the army,
Also embedded in my memory Jack Kirby a great guy and Terry Woods missed his way as a dart player off Eagle St

Who can ever forget Accy Disco. It took over in popularity from from The Con. for the younger end. It was the centre of activity for the Accy Mods. It was here that we heard all the latest soul and Motown imports. Getting your hand stamped at 9 o'clock and going either to The Hope and Anchor or The Broadway for a pint (underage)
Trapping off with a bird and going up "The ragshop back" but thats another story. No wonder I have dodgy knees.

You went through a little doorway and up a flight of stairs. They had that strange luminous lighting that made the pass out stamp on your hand glow - cracking music though!

Yeh, I remember going there in the 60's

Must have missed this post when it was first posted. Both Jack and Terry lived on Eagle Street Terry was my next door neighbour, Jack lived across the road at number 3, Jack worked with a partner back in those days, Jim Riley, who's now my neighbour today, We all worked on demolishing the old wooden stand at Peel Park back in the late sixties. Ya Terry was one hell of a darts player, haven't seen him for years but I think he still lives in the same house saw his wife Roz a couple of years back in accy, ya and that sign leading to the toilets, if I remember rightly it just yar tis or something like
