Thanks to Shorny for getting in touch again and passing on a great selection of his photos and also for including info for each one.
In the first photo below from the Britannia Snorny says that this is the night they got arrested..but doesn't say why!

| Another from the Britannia 1977 |
Some of Shorny's photos were water damaged but I've been able to salvage them all with a bit of cropping and re-touching, so apologies for the one above which Shorny thinks is Barry wearing Scotty's kilt and dancing on his bed!

how nice to see a a photo of the Britannia when staff are not wearing bow ties , was John Munday still the owner ? or had he moved on.Finbarr Smyth (worked there 72 and a short time in 74)
Top photo far right, the guy in the checked shirt was Scottish Andy who worked in the Texas,middle photo Spock in the yellow t-shirt looking really young...The guy in the kilt was Aussie Barry Abraham, he was manager of the Broadway late 70's early 80's..he used to get the punters in by pretending he was the Australian national darts champion.
Andy curry he was from linwoodd from .I think he married a Dutch girl and was never her from again. I asked his da about him years ago.I stayed at some pub with spock and Janet (i think that was her name.Billy will rember.Her mum and Dad ran it.I think it was in Barrnet London
Frank, her name was Janice and the pub was in Barnet. None of us heard off big Andy whenhe left that year.
John Munday was still owner then but was about to retire. I'm in top photo with Thomo,spock, wee tony, Jeff the singer and Barry Thomas next to big Andy
Hi ya lads, Billy, Frank and Malc heh heh they was good times eh? Billy the top foto was the night we got arrested I think. Big Andy lamped a local and me you and Tommo got a good whooping off the red caps, "nada nada bronchitis" ha ha
Shorny, remember it well and still got the bruises. Will have another stroll down that street in 2 weeks when I'm in Lloret for a few days. Where are you based now?
I loved Jeff happy memories what happened to him I'm sure he lived in Calella often thought about him over the years he took us to a bar after the pubs. Loses that had a 23 hour licence can't for the life of me remember the name
