Product Description
Product Description
The venue allowed audiences to get up close and personal with massive American stars like The Jacksons, Four Tops and Stevie Wonder.
The sheer number and variety of venues on offer in 1970s Sheffield dwarfs anything we have today: cabaret clubs, discotheques, pubs, restaurants, Working Men's Clubs, out-of-town nightclubs, live music venues and even a 24 hour Wimpy.
Neil Anderson's `Dirty Stop Out's Guide to 1970s Sheffield' is packed with memoirs and rare and unseen photos from venues like: Crazy Daizy; Hofbrauhaus, Josephine's, Top Rank, Black Swan, Penny Farthing, Penthouse, The Limit, Scamps, Shades and scores more.
The book also provides a fascinating insight into changing tastes and attitudes.
It's fair to say the champions of political correctness had got a long way to go in the decade.
Despite the rise of the feminist movement, you could still bag three strippers, topless go-go dancers and free beer for only 5p at Hofbrauhaus on Eyre Street six lunchtimes a week.
Women were praised for undertaking marathon drinking sessions in the name of charity and tales of wife swapping parties in Dronfield were front page news.
`Dirty Stop Out's Guide to 1970s Sheffield' also includes photos and memories from seminal gigs at Sheffield City Hall from the likes of David Bowie and the Spiders From Mars, Mick Ronson and Lou Reed.
