Let's go clubbing

Mark Cummings | 10:30 UK time, Friday, 26 March 2010

Bob MonkhouseOn Monday's Breakfast Show we will take you back to a magical era. Chas Phipps was the man who introduced the first nightclub to the county. He will guide us back to that time with a celebrity packed radio series.

Val Doonican, Les Dawson, Bob Monkhouse and many other stars rolled into town. Do you remember the Dolphin club on Worcester Street or nights spent at Witcombe Lodge?

We will transport you back to the 60's and 70's. If you have any memories of meeting the stars please add your comments.

Nightclub update... Monday morning.

We had some great calls today adding wonderful colour to our night clubbing adventure. Barbara phoned to say she had her first kiss at the Dolphin club, in Gloucester, Christmas 1964. She was listening to the show today with the very same man she'd smooched with all those years ago!

The Gloucester rugby team often used the club after matches. Former number eight Harold Symonds phoned up with a few recollections of post match frivolity.

We will have more on Tuesday's show when we move to our next location at Witcombe Lodge. Already the anecdotes about Dave Allen, "Diddy" David Hamilton, Bob Monkhouse and many more have started to flood in.
