Hello i was reading your post about jollies nightclub .i was wonderingif you have info about obtaining a photo that was taken there for a birthday

I am so sorry but it was so long ago that I cant even remember the photographers name that I worked for.

It must have been nearly 40 years ago.

I didnt work there long, a few months at most but lovely memories all the same.

The name Huston Spratt is used in connection with pictures taken at Jollees...

Who remembers and visited Jollees Cabaret Night club that use to be in Commerce Street, Longton, Stoke?

I visited several times, always had a meal, the place was always full, so with stars such as Cliff Richard, Roy Orbison, Tommy Cooper, Norman Wisdom, Cannon & Ball, Freddie Starr and Cilla Black why / how ever did it close?

I visited Jollees a number of times, to see some of the above artists. In fact Cannon and Ball was one of the funniest shows that I ever saw!! I was literally falling off my seat laughing at the jokes etc.. I have recently found some memorabilia of the times I spent there, but I was hoping there might be some way of finding out who featured there and dates when they appeared, just to complete some outstanding information for my collection.
Does anyone know if and where I might find out some details? Is there an archive of who appeared and when?
Brian.

When I've tried to do that sort of thing, I've found it quite effective to just Google "artist venue" - about half the time it will come up with info from somewhere.

With a place like Jollees it might be worth trying a few variations and misspellings, too - in fact, you can try that for some artists, also.

Often, acts would play at such venues regularly, so it can be difficult to be sure which date it really was..
