Good Times in the Old Days with John and Maddy |
Maddy & Some Strange Fella!
- Madeleine Hall
- daughter of Grimsby Town Footballer Alec Hall
- Sadly Maddy passed away on the
- 1st November 2003 after a long illness but she lived
life to the full enjoying a cruise in August. She had a wonderful
personality and we all have our treasured and mostly funny memories
of the time we spent with Maddy.
-
- Never to be forgotten.

The Late John Farrah
Bingo Caller for Baron's Bingo on Cleethorpes Promenade when he was a slip
of a lad and Doorman at the "Sands Club" where he was very popular and had a
wonderful sense of humour. Then he went on to run his own pubs in the
Manchester area until his early death from cancer. Much Missed. |
Clarice
I can't imagine what's shocked her!
Clarice was Captain of our darts team at the 'Sands Club' on the promenade
for many years and also worked at British Rail and when she had finished her
shift it was just across the platform and up the stairs to the Sands to
enjoy another great night. |
Caricature of Tom
Dianne had this done for her Dad.
He still had his old hairstyle then (known by the kids as
the 'walnut whip') and in the days when he was trying to give up
smoking!!!!!

A great singer and entertainer. A friend

for a holiday at Neil and Tracy's villa.

married Bobby Cummings and Bobby played for Grimsby Town Football Club.
1st Photo: Tom & Scotty taken on Cleethorpes Railway
Station
2nd Photo: Scotty & Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis - Tenor Sax
player who played with Count Basie Orchestra. He also appeared at the
Sands Club and Tom and I went to see him play in Los Angeles in 1979.
Tom and Scotty hit it off straight away and remained good
friends.
_____________________________________________________ Up
date on Scotty - 2007 Scotty arrived at our door one
Sunday a couple of weeks ago during October with Barbara it really was a
'Blast from the Past'
Scotty and Barbara on Cleethorpes Seafront and Barbara with her Ticket that
cost her a £60 fine for dropping a cigarette end in the gutter. She
had been in England only a couple of days and wasn't aware of litter laws,
especially as there were tab ends all over the place and other litter.
The officials wouldn't accept that a warning would do in this event, so that
was her initiation to Cleethorpes. Thankfully that didn't put her off
and she enjoyed her time here. It was lovely to see
them both. |

many acts that appeared at the Sands Club

MIA
CARLA
MIA CARLA (Carole) came to The Sands time and time again
and we and the customers all loved her. She was a riot and I suppose
she still is. She has travelled the world over and cruised from the
Med to the Caribbean.
- At my Mother's funeral Carole sang 'She Was Beautiful (theme from
the film The Deer Hunter) at St. Peter's Church, Cleethorpes
- and I love her to bits for that.

At "The Sands"
Billy Fury
Sometime in the early 1970's
A wonderful young man and very talented.
He took time out to visit our home and meet our 3 daughters, who were
very young at the time. |
DOUGIE JAMES
Dougie appeared at The Sands many times and on occasion brought his band
'Soul Train' with him. Great Days.
Dougie has three sons and the eldest Ryan Thomas is in Coronations Street
and plays Jason, and he's doing a great job 'A Chip Off The Old Block'.
Adam another of his sons plays Donte in 'Waterloo Road' and what a great job
he does too.
Tom & Dougie keep in touch and when Taryn and Andrew got married he flew
in by helicopter just to let us know he cared and after the reception he was
on his way back to perform in Manchester. |
PAUL
EDISON
Paul appeared at The Sands Club many times and always sang
Tommy's favourite song 'Till'.
Today (Tuesday 7th February 2006) a 'Blast From the Past'
moment, one of our old band members Ray Perry (drummer) turned up at our door and he had
just got back from a cruise where he had been working with Paul around the
South American Seas and brought us a CD from Paul with his love and guess
what song was on it "TILL" |
TOM WITH KEN DODD
Ken Dodd appeared a number of times at The 'Casablanca'
and had a full house every time. |
TOM WITH THE SUPREMES
The Supremes appeared two nights at The 'Casablanca' and
included Mary Wilson on the left (the original 'Supreme')
Fabulous Nights, Fabulous Music! |
Lloyd Hulme - we had many wonderful musical
nights with Lloyd at the Submarine and the Sands.
I believe Lloyd went on to bigger and better things.
