John Busbridge… Who remembers the Sundowners Club? Great place to go on a Friday night back in the day. Can anyone date this?
Alan Esdaile… Sundowners was great. Thanks for posting John.
Kevin Sherwood… I saw Showaddywaddy over there before they were in the charts so it was around 1973.
Robert Searle… Nice to see my old group there, Haze, for two nights too. Great days. It was their first gig,although unofficial, at the Sundowners, comprised of two groups, Choise and Golden Hammers, great night. I was there too.
Chris Chantler… Guess this was 73 …. great place, saw Showaddy there several times (and Mud) and met my husband there too!
Pete Millington… We (SPYKE) used to zip over to The Sundowners every Friday night after playing at the Alexandra Hotel in Hastings. So many good groups played there. Dating the programme is tough but Showaddewaddy we’re formed from two different groups who played there, can’t remember their names. So I would guess this programme is from 1971/2
Willie Wicking… Remember seeing Showaddwaddy there must have been one of their 1st gigs
Peter Thomson… I’ve always been convinced we saw Karl (Carl?) Douglas there but without a band. Don’t remember it being advertised and we were surprised when he appeared on stage. Whoever it was either mimed or sang along to backing tapes, quite early on in the evening. No, not everyone was Kung Fu Fighting.
Tony court-Holmes… went there often
Sheila Maile… Used to drive over in our mates Robin Reliant after the local pub shut in 1977
Keith Veness… Great place to go car full of people good times
Leigh Mitchell… Went there a lot in the 70s
Dennis Torrance… I went to Sundowners a few times and enjoyed it there
Colin Bell… DJ’d there in the 70’s, always a good gig i enjoyed doing.
