    I worked the doors there. Most of the door staff trained at the Kartate club across the road. The bar was owned by the Rossi family then. Always very busy and very little aggro. Great night’s were had there by countless folk. Such a pity we can’t sometimes wind the clock back which I certainly remember very fondly.

    Got engaged in The Rooster in 1974. Well known pub that the police used to go to for a wee drink.
