Jerry Lee Lewis

Another of the great rock & roll icon of the late 50/60 has passed away.



Jerry Lee Lewis aka The Killer R.I.P

 

That would have been quite recently when John Pennington owned the old Mecca I know the guy who looked after the artists when they appeared at Pennington's he has some great tales of the artists who played there mainly Americans, Jerry Lee, Chuck Berry, Everly Brothers and many more.
Chuck Berry wanted a curry and a pint of beer, I believe it was the Sweet Centre they then went for a curry then onto the The Melbourne pub and had a game of pool to the surprise of a few of the locals , I believe someone passed comment on the old Claret & Banter forum that they were in the Melbourne when Chuck Berry walked in.

 

You're correct it was The Dave Lee Sound he also died too young.

 

Did you frequent Wibsey back in the day I was a member at both the Liberal Club and Wibsey WMC behind the Market Tavern, Dave Lee was a Canterbury lad originally I believe.

 

Few of the areas in Bradford look the same @trevor, as for having a beer on a Friday night Wibsey village was great, starting at the Dog & Gun top of St Enoch's, down to the Upper George, on to the Forrester's, nip over the road to the White Swan popinto the Wibsey Rugby Club, back over the road again to the Windmill, down to the Market Tavern, follow the road down to Odsal top and the Top House or go down Wibsey Bank taking in the Hare & Hounds then around the corner to the Woodman, over Manchester Road to the Red Lion great days mate.
