Scarborough In The 60s

[Bigsoulman]

Havin a real good chinwag with my cousin who now lives in Oz and we were recalling the great days when our Mums and Dads dragged us down to Scarborough in the 60s, we used to go to a place called Hairy Bobs Cavern, I always remember the dj playing Geno Washington's albums at that time (Foot Stompin etc), he didn't remember it but I can still see the sign outside, am I dreaming or does anyone know of this place, any info most welcome,

Dunno about that club. I arrived here in '84 and the main club locals talk about is the Penthouse, which hosted hoary old rock bands like Free and Bad Company but later redeemed itself with the Pistols and the Stranglers.

There is a Hairy Bob's Cave

but that story is bollocks. I think it was a man made odditty from the 60s or 70s.

Does have a webcam though:

Stunning eh?

There have been a few Hairy Bob's Cavern nights over the past couple of years but they have been gig nights at various venues organised by local fruitcake Cap'n Ants (of the icing shop link above)

Here's some of his stuff:

I remember Scarboro' in the 1660s.

Wild Jims Ale and Floosie Tavern.

Slap my thigh, many a good Hornpipe to be had in thar.

Plenty of drinking and dancing as well.
