El Rio Pizza Bar on Woodville Road Woodville /Hanson Road Pizza Bar


Still remember the DJ of the times, Steve McNally [surname spelling ?]

Well Scrappy- I have good news for you- the night will feature Barry Ion as MC and Steve McNally as DJ.

Wow, that's a great double blast from the past.

Barry Ion played football for the Woodville Club
Steve and Barry is a Plus

There's a LP still around the traps
Bazz Plus Pilko
Day Trip To Victor
Made in 1980

The tracks are

Youve lost that lovin feelin
Volcano
Crash bang wallop
Little white cloud
The great pretender
Falling in love

Crying
Mandy
Some girls
No more smoking
Born to be alive
Day trip to bangor [victor]

Not a bad album

Can anyone remember this band in the 80's that did great cover songs ?
They did the Adelaide circuit a fair bit in the 70-80's
They were named The Boys
Used to like going to wherever they performed

Here's one that Bayman will vouch for
Circa Bay Disco 1980s

I would approach young girls with dark hair and ask :
" Are you from Lebanon?"
" No,why?'
" Its just that you look like a Beirut girl."

And still single then Scrappy??

no he's not, but no one can believe how he struck gold in the love stakes

You've missed the boat
Was married last millenium

Given your favourite lines Scrappy I'll gladly wave goodbye to that boat!!

I showed my wife that approach line Scrappy and she hasn't stopped laughing.

if you can somehow organize a trip to Adelaide i would think you'd love it, only going on the basis that Glenelg had a couple of ''Bay Disco'' nights in the last few years, they sold out quickly & everyone seemed to be having a great night out, perhaps a few sore heads the next day though

Well Bayman- you were right- it was an awesome night- lots of old players there including Steve Jacquier, Des O'Dwyer, Romano Negri, Ian Dettmann, John Roberts, John Cummins, Garry Haylock to name a few. Music was good and the atmosphere was great- the club is thinking of having another one in the future. Also spoke with a guy called Tim, who used to play guitar in the band The Streets. Suffice to say I had fun!!

glad to hear you had an 'awesome time'

The PLAZA was the interesting one
I had not known there was a theatre in the Sturt Arcade

Interesting to know how these cinemas got thier names
Heres an opinion of sorts on some of them

GLOBE someone saw Lee batting ?
MAJESTIC someone saw me batting in the backyard ?
STURT in 1965 someone knew about the 5 flags in a row 66-70
WESTS after Lee and Blacky ?

I would imagine those places would have been heavily attended in 1965 ?
Cinemas are ebbing south these days with low attendances[well the ones Ive been to in recent years]
TV + Videos a reason for the lowering of patrons
