Jims Photos from the 70s

 Many thanks to Jim Brennan for bringing his old photos from his working days in Lloret...here are the first of many. Some of the places Jim worked were Lord Nelson, Tempo's, Tramps & Istanbul.

A couple more from Paul!

Continuing with UK Club theme, Paul has sent 2 newspaper cuttings regarding the opening and closing of the club.

Pauls photos.

Here we have a few more photos from Paul which feature the UK Club 1974. The club was only open for 2 years, and was based on the British style 'working mans club' with bingo and live music...what a shame it didnt last!

Photos from Paul

I've received a few photos from Paul which date back to the early 70s, in the details Paul gave about the photos he mentions the UK Club which hasn't featured on the site before, does anyone else remember it or better still have photos ? Thanks Paul for the photos and also your kind words about the site!

Pauls email below....

First of all I must congratulate you on organising and running this website, it looks as though it has brought back memories to many 'old workers'. I am one, I worked in Lloret from 1973 - 1976 and found out about this website when I visited in 2014, the first time since working there. It has taken me 2 years to put fingers to keyboard and start things off.

I will try and be brief (if that is possible). A group of us arrived early 1973 and I started off working at 'PP's (briefly), I got a job there when it opened for Easter in '73, however after Easter it got very quiet and a few people had to go, including me. I then got a job as DJ at 007 (where I have just found a photo taken in '74 with me included).

1974 found me and friends I was with working at a club that is not mentioned at all on the website 'UK Club' I will write you another email regarding this club as it only operated for 2 years but had quite a history. Late summer '74 found me working at Maxim's as DJ (I may have put in a spell at 007 as well as I am in the photo).

1975 and 1976 I worked as DJ at Maxim's

I moved from the UK to Australia in 1979 where I have remained till now.

Photo 1: 007 Disco September 1973. Names I can remember. Mo and me (front row), Lance, Pauline (Richards partner), Richard (manager), Daniel (in white shirt), he was an American on holiday it was his last day in Spain and pestered me to play Elton Johns 'Daniel', kept buying me drinks so how could I refuse! Then there is Sue on RH Side.

Photos from Marilyn

Thank you to Marilyn for sending 2 photos from 1974. 

Marilyn's message and details about her photos.....

I worked in the 007 disco in 1974 and like many others have never forgotten that time, it was great.
As you can see the first photo was taken in The White Horse with many other workers, I'm at the front on the right, the other girls were Jean in the front on the left , Liz behind her and I believe Betty squashed behind Fred? The other two girls at the back were Jan and Cathy.
The second picture was taken in the 007, girl in front row is Mo, I am behind her, she worked in the 007 along with her boyfriend Richie he is in the front on the right.

Back in those days I was Marilyn Gormer, I arrived in Lloret round about April along with Jean, Jan and Cathy. Looking through the old photos has certainly made me think about my time in Lloret and would love to come out for a visit,  I did come out in 1991 and the only person I did meet was Richard , he was the manager  of the 007 when I worked there he is in the 007 photo at the back on the left.
Sorry for the length of this but I could go on and on.
Jackie thank you for putting this web site etc together it is just wonderful.
