Joette,

Did you ever go to the Paisley Town Hall discos on the first Saturday in the month during the late 70's?

I loved them as people from all over the district and beyond came.

Nope only to the Church Dances in Foxbar I think it was-the bus terminus was outside handy if you had some dosh.
I can remember a certain "friend" who had started going out with my ex-a no-no amongst lassies,the social faux pas per excellence!!!Anyway we were sitting on the bus going back to Renfrew Ferry & she was getting a bit of a shereking for her "bad taste".I felt very vindicated.You just did not go near anybody that a friend fancied/had been out with.
We both ended up with different hubbies though & we both ditched them too!!!

I went to the Dennistoun Palais a couple of times on a Saturday afternoon but my dad was the resident singer at The Barrowland so I ended up there.

I remember Boots Corner well Davie.

Annette,
Out of them all my absolute favourite was the Electric Garden. Like Rita I loved The Poets and Dream Police who used to play there. Wonder if we rubbed shoulders because all the dance halls at that time were always mobbed.

Actually ah think ah did take a lumber fae Joanna's once. He walked me tae George Square fur the midnight bus an' we hid a wee winch. He asked tae see me again bit ah gave 'im a dizzy - he probably didnae turn up either.

Ah memories.

Best wishes,
Annette M

Yes Margaret I do remember them
There was some good Ayrshire ones on the go then as well but do any of yous remember the last dance song ; Please Stay by the Crying shame .
The Bobby's late bus for us only went as far as Kilmarnock or Irvine so we had a bit of a walk after that as well but we always had a sing-song along the way , If I remember right I think the Bobbys' was ten bob to get into then.

Hi Rita,

IF I GOT ON MY KNEES AND I PLEADED WITH YOU
NOT TO GO BUT TO STAY IN MY ARMS
WOULD YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR
LIKE YOU DID ONCE BEFO O O ORE

THIS TIME (this time)
BE DIFFERENT (be different)
PLEASE STAY, DON’T GO

IF I CALL OUT YOUR NAME LIKE A PRAYER
WOULD YOU LEAVE ME ALONE IN MY FEAR
KNOWING I NEED YOU SO
WOULD YOU STILL TURN AND GO

THIS TIME (this time)
BE DIFFERENT (be different)
PLEASE STAY DON’T GO PLEASE STAY

I LOVED YOU BEFORE I EVEN KNEW YOUR NAME
AND I WANTED TO GIVE YOU MY HEART
BUT NOW YOU CAME BACK AFTER LEAVING ME ONE TIME
OH I KNEW OH HOW I KNEW
THAT THE HEARTACHES WOULD START

IF I CALL OUT YOUR NAME LIKE A SONG
WHICH WAS WRITTEN FOR YOU, YOU ALONE
WOULD YOU STILL HURT MY PRIDE
BABY, YES, TILL I CRIED

THIS TIME (this time) BE DIFFERENT (be different)
PLEASE STAY DON’T GO PLEASE STAY
YOU KNOW I ALWAYS LOVE YOU DARLIN’
PLEASE STAY (please stay) DON’T GO (don’t go)
PLEASE STAY

Took me back big time!!
Good job you weren't in my house while I was, trying to remember and type the words by, singing my wee heart out karaoke style.
