Met Millie Small in a club called the Discotheque in Wardour Street London. I think it was in 1964/65. Seems a lifetime ago.

Millie sang in The Spa Pavilion, Strathpeffer, North of Inverness back in the 1960's. I met her there when I was working there as a school girl. One day, my Father was working in our garden - we lived near the top of a hill near the Golf Course. Millie walked past with her dog - a Poodle - and stopped to speak to Dad. He had no idea who she was but said she was lovely. xx

It was great to hear from someone who remembered The Discotheque..Did you ever go there WHL ? I also used to go to a club to see Georgie Fame play , I think it was the Flemingo. Just off Wardour Street was Old Compton Street , where my favourite restaurant Menzies was. All men waiters wearing pinafores. Stewed Eels and mash to start followed by Skate and chips. I used to meet my friend Buster Edwards there...Happy Days!

Well WHL our paths must have crossed. I went to all these clubs except St.Moritz , which I cannot remember. I was there from 1964...Le Valboun was a famous venue , but I cannot remember where it was....

Small world ,le Valboun was in kingly street off Beak street, St Moritz was a posh, club, not my cup of tea, but I was going out with a posh bird at the time and she was a member, never paid for a drink, she used to put it on her tab and daddy used to pay it off, happy days
Just googled the clubs history on google, and annual membership fees were £4,000 a year, that was serious money back in the 60s/70s
