These pictures will take you back to the 1960s and 70s, and the popular nightclubs, social clubs and working men’s clubs of the era.
They show inside the Fiesta, which opened in 1970 and was the biggest nightclub in the whole of Europe. Built at a cost of £500,000, its auditorium could hold 1,300 people, and it attracted some huge stars including Stevie Wonder, the Beach Boys, the Jacksons and the Four Tops.
They also show the Azena Ballroom, in Gleadless, which in April 1963 hosted a legendary early gig by the Beatles, which was the first time Lennon, McCartney and co had played in the city.
Other popular 60s and 70s nightclubs pictured in this retro photo gallery include the German-themed Hofbrauhaus; Crazy Daisy, where The Human League’s Phil Oakey famously first met future band members Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall; Peter Stringfellow’s King Mojo Club; Tiffany’s, on London Road; the Penny Farthing; Josephine’s, along with many more much-missed night spots.
Do you remember dancing the night away at any of these clubs, and what do you think was the best Sheffield club of the 60s and 70s?
The photos are taken from The Star’s archives and from Picture Sheffield.
