John printed the sign.
Alan Esdaile… Fiesta Club was a side door before you reach the downstairs coffee bar. Up loads of stairs, they had some great pinball tables and the windows had coloured glass. I’m sure it was called something else? Still looking for photos of the coffee bar downstairs.
John Busbridge… Barry Herbert worked behind the bar, all the crockery was clear like pyrex and it was up two flights of stairs.
Lloyd Johnson… I use to go up there with ‘Enry ‘Arvey at times…we also use to pop into The Sombrero Coffee Bar which was over the road from The Anchor at times….The Sombrero some how has been forgotten in the passing of time….this would have been 63/64ish….
Marilyn Spence… Loved my Fiesta days
Hilary Gilbert… Tony worked there 1967-8, when we were saving up to get married. I’d sit there crocheting hats and scarves, with the same purpose!
Albert Pitman… Where was Fiesta Club?
Alan Esdaile… Albert, Trinity Street Claremont Hastings.
Albert Pitman… I wondered because I went to a Fiesta Club in South London, wellies were advised because of regular flooding toilets
John Davis… was it also called Cat Noir at some point?
Alan Esdaile… Don’t think so John but might be wrong. The only cat noir I knew was The Black Cat at York Buildings
