I'm glad that chippendales thing has been cleared up...
I still get people coming up and telling me that they remember my performance, at one point I was even thinking of putting up a poster to put people straight:
Chippendale wannabe = DARRYL
Innocent brother who had nothing to do with it = WARREN

I think i learned everything at the youth club

Youth club Eric Davis Hall, opposite the cafe, oh yes the den of inequity for all teenagers and feared but tolerated by all parents.
I remember leaving one evening and discovering Kannie Worry camping on the circle in the centre of town one holiday.
We would gather round and sing songs with him as Cassies had closed and he was making a stand about holidays or something.
I was there a coulple of night before they managed to move him.

I have very vague memories, of Uncle Bill taking us to a hall (in the late 60's)  where very cool Big kids, (i think i was about 5) were painting the interior with pychodelic glo in the dark murals and bands playing (Castle bros), I think the building was a glass structure painted with white paint on the outside. A huge afro in green comes to mind. Oh my god I'm old.
This was the era of space exploration and before they changed the recipe of coke (brown cow, anyone?)  I think someone else was referanced this somewhere else on the site.

[Michael Alexander]

Barbara, it sounds like the only part of your tale you forgot to mention, was the sweet smell that permeated the room.... heheheh  ;)

[barb (Fry)]

Oh yea, it took me longer than most to recognise it for what it was.

[Richard Opperman]

Who can remember when the youth club was behind the power station, before it moved to the Eric Davis hall in 1972?

Who can remember the names of some of the youth club bands and their members?

I remember Stephen Huntley was a brilliant guitarist, but always seemed to wonder off in a Hendrix twang, leaving the rest of the band just standing there!

thats the one I referred to above, my memories of it as an impressionable child made the Eric Davis Hall a disapointment.

[Richard Opperman]

Brown Cow - Coca Cola and Vanilla icecream?
Now days - Coke Float!

[barb (Fry)]

No - Brown cow was coke and dispirin.
It was a potentent, pleasant drug in those days. (stimulant slightly hallucegenic, I believe)
Many kids apparently claimed they were taken by surprise as dispirin was dropped into there drinks by other party goers.
but it resulted in the recipe being changed to prevent whatever the chemical reaction was, no more cheap unsuspected raves.
O f course this was before my time.
