Ricky's Bar

Thanks to Ricky in Blanes for granting me the use of his photos from the Lloret section of his web site, here is the link for his site Ricky's Bar.
If you go to the Lloret link on the site you'll find loads of photos from the years 1978 - 86.

Rabbie Burns

Going back to the Rabbie Burns in1971 for these two, thanks to John McSwan for the loan of these photos. He told me a story about someone in one of these photos, they married someone who was very famous at the time - does anyone else know the story?

Todays Photos....

Todays photos were sent by David Sinclair, Omelet and Debbie. David is in the centre of the first picture (which I believe this was taken in Sweeneys?)
Omelet is in the centre of the middle picture.

The last one, going far back in time to the days none of us are old enough to remember, possibly to the early 50s, Thanks to Debbie for sending this one.

Captains Arms

These two should get the comments rolling in !

In the first photo dated 21-8-72 (thanks to John McSwan) John himself is behind the bar in the Captains Arms, and on the left at the front is Tommy...now in the Navy bar in Fenals.

The second photo (is this the Highwayman?) belongs to Rod still a regular visitor to Lloret. He is at the very back of the photo, also in the picture is Alan Hagger (Oh no, not him again !) next to Alan is Sally.
I did have a couple more names wrote down somewhere, but I don't know where...was it Paul on the left ?

Sweeney Todds

One more from David Sinclair, who worked in Sweeney Todds between the years 1984-88.
He also included the names (see below) of the people in the photo...Thanks for that David !

''Top Line From Right>>> Tourist, Tourist, Gas Metre(Peter),Tourist,Ronnie,Sharron, Me then Josep .

Bottom Line>>>>Graeme(AKA known as Biscuit who lived with Joyce),Christoball. then tourist.''

La Uva

I have still plenty of photos from (Aunty) Jean which she spent ages on sorting out for the blog. Here we have 2 more from her collection, the top one from the year 1986. I'm not sure where this was taken...were you in the picture ?
The bottom one, taken in 1987 is Jean alongside Ray behind the bar in La Uva.

Lloret Beach

Iwas sent these photos by Joan who I met in Gerry's Bar a few weeks ago. Here is a copy of the email she sent with them...

''Hi Jackie,
Nice to see the old pictures on your website. I've attached a few more that were given to me by Stevie and Joan Lynch, they both worked there together in the 80's. They have been married now for almost 25 years. Joan was with me when we met in Gerry's bar a few weeks ago along with Margie Mullen, we had a great time seeing all the old places and meeting people we haven't seen for almost 30 years !
The picture taken on the beach is all the "scottish crowd " I think ! Joan is at the front on the right hand side with Stevie next to her,then it's Chico, Shuggie McGuire, ? , Colin McVey. Behind joan is Gerry Scanlon, not quite sure of all the rest
Second picture was taken on the beach in front of the Piccadilly, looks like they were all setting off for a good day out ! Joan is at the front sitting on all the booze with Stevie behind her with the beard. These were taken in the 80's as far as I am aware.
Hope they are of some use to you and keep up the good work
Joan''
