Photos from Paul Seager

 I've received a great selection of new photos this time from Paul who managed Sweeney Todds during his time in Lloret. Just a few of Pauls pictures are posted below and also parts of his email giving details of the pics...there's many more to come yet! If anyone remembers Paul and would like to get in touch with him I do have his email address which he has said I can pass on.

 I was in Lloret de Mar from 1982 – 1987 and used to manage Sweeney Todds bar.  I then went on to partnership a bar in Calella.  I have about 30 photographs if you are interested which I can send you through in batches with whatever information I can remember.  I am interested in contacting some of the old crowd that I worked with during those years and by the way I think the website is a fantastic idea.
 The first pic is of me and our doorman Steve, I don’t recall the other guy but he was a prop for us. 
 Ronnie who was the co-owner of Sweeney's – on his motorbike with Sonia, one of our barmaids on the back
John and Steve from Basildon who I am still in contact with.  The blonde girl is Diane who I met whilst a prop in 82 and who came back as a worker the following year, who I shot back to England, married and we came back and carried on working.  I believe we were one of the few married couple workers.  The other guy is Nigel who was our DJ at Sweeney's.

Spocks Pics

 Back to Spocks photos with 3 from the Prince of Wales. I dont have a name for the person above, can anyone help? in the next 2 below are a very young Alan Hagger! and In the 3rd picture are Knocker, Dave and Spock in what looks like fancy dress night in the Robin Hood. I have heard that years ago fancy dress was totally illegal in Lloret, does anyone know why that would have been?

Tom's Photos


 Thanks to Tom for getting in touch and sending 2 photos for the blog, I have included both of his emails under each of the photos...
Hi Jackie, was given details of your website - fabulous stuff. Went to Don Quijote with Britannia in 1978 or 1979 and spent many nights in The Highlander and Robin Hood. Little did I know that my move down south in 1985 would lead me to be introduced to former owners of The Birmingham Chippy in Fanals - Ivy and Harold Payne from Henley in Arden. Here they are pictured with their son Gerald and daughter Sally. We don't know who the lady is on the end but think she worked in the bar where picture taken. I believe they were there for most of the 70s.
 Sadly the Paynes in the picture have all passed away but they were all characters in their own way and well remembered.
 Here is a picture of the lads from Oxgangs, Liberton and Longstone in Edinburgh with the bar staff from The Highlander. Photographer from Foto Lloses San Pedro 15 in Lloret knew we were suckers for a photo and followed us around. Maybe some of the guys will have some more. Messrs Cropley, McGuigan, Houston, Jordan, Hunter, Boulton and McQuatt - if you are still out there have a dig through the old albums.
