Roburt Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I've been to the building that housed the Esquire, but many years later when it was another club (it's just round the corner from Sheff Midland Stn). It was a bit Ironic, but a Mojo revival night in the 80's was staged there. Stringfellow attended, Geno Washington was the live act & Searling was pencilled in to be the DJ -- but being midweek, he couldn't get over the hills in time, so another Radio Hallam DJ took his place. I was a Mojo goer, Mojo fans rarely attended the Esquire & vice versa. Esquire was a jazz & then blues club that 'ran out of legs' around 1965. The Mojo became the top Sheffield club shortly after opening (which was just after the above piece was written). If an act that Esquire clubbers wanted to see was on at the Mojo AND the Wheel, many would go see them @ the Wheel rather than the Mojo (such was the rivalry).

Tomangoes Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'm sure 'the place' was still open around 1980? Big general disco I think. Ed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
