Photos from Sue Vale


Back to about 1969 -70 with these two black / white photos from Sue. Sue's ex husband Jim Vale is in the top photo (with his arms folded) Other than that I've no idea who the others are, can anyone else add any names. The bottom photo is outside the Istanbul Club which we have seen on many previous photos. The doorway is still there ( below the Esmeralda Hotel) but is now blocked and no longer used.  I often wonder whats behind the doors of the old pubs and clubs in Lloret that have been closed for years, I bet all the fixtures & fittings are still there in many of them...... What a spooky excursion that would be looking around them all !

Hola from Jim Vale,The bottom photo shows the end of the fantastic fancy dress closing night of The Istanbul Disco 1969.All are season workers in the photo-all the other clubs and bars closed early so their staff could be there.Ricky from the White Horse turned up 'blacked'in a 'black and white minstrels'outfit!How long had that been in his suitcase?!
