"I remember the Frau in 65-66 all the scooters were lined up along the Cathedral walls, (there was more going on outside the clubs than in the clubs some nights)it was a place you had to be seen at. Barry Rayner a very good friend of mine in later life was the barman? The Frau, Cona, Wheel and the Favourite snack bar in Albert Square, boy oh boy I am so lucky to have been a part of the fab 60's. It will never be replicated....happy days"

I played at the JUNGFRAU in 1966. I was in a band THE RUSTIKS and we backed TOMMY QUICKLY. I remember the night we played at the JUNGFRAU. The crowd went wild and we had a fantastic night.

I remember the Frau in 64 and 65 - evaprest trousers, hush puppies, button down shirts. The girls were into leather coats and long hair until the Quant cut came in. Walls streaming with condensation, live, loud music, warm coke and a pass out to sink a couple of underage pints.

I used to be one of the DJ's there (Pete the Buff) along with Jack Birley and Eric Stanton. Jack has still got the original Jungfrau sign.

Sorry, can't remember much... 1966.
I was a "member" of the scooter mods, I can remember Angus, Les, Bernie from Cheetham, a lad from Langley, two mates from Gorton, one of them was a DJ at Rowntrees, Deansgate I think.There were 3 large bouncers one of which worked on Bramhall High School with me.
There was a trip to Blackpool and a scary visit to a Moss Side Cafe in the early hours with the owner brandishing a machete!
My name is Chris Jones and I had a white SX200 Unfortunately I have no pics but would love to buy any.

I made some life long friends through the Frau. I remember getting a pass out to go into the Mitre pub where you would find as many Frau members as in the Frau.
On the way home on the approach to Victoria Bus Station we would stop at Louie's van for a pie. Some of the best looking girls lived on Littleton Road and thats the way I would walk home...happy days.

Louis Pies!
A passout to the Mitre where the ancient waiter always gave change of 10 bob instead of a quid.
Walk a girl to Walkers Croft for a quick snog: one of Louis' meat and potatoes and the All Night No. 73 from Salford Bus Station.
Great memories!

I was beginning to think Jungfrau was a figment of my 'sixties imagination' until I read this page. Brilliant. Seem to remember the 'stars' wandered about freely with the customers which was rather cool then. I could drop a few names but won't - in case I DID imagine it all!

I was indeed one of the DJs at the Junfrau along with the 'Buff'. One night we had "Screaming Lord Sutch" on, in the afternoon his roadies arrived with his gear, the first question they asked was "where's the piano?" We didn't have one.
To cut the story short I borrowed one from a maiden aunt, promising her it would be back next day without a mark on it (it was her pride and joy). We got it to the club, (turning it upside down to get it down the stairs) all the keys fell out. We got it back together and set it on the stage.
Halfway through the show, the lights went out, strobes came on, and all you could see was Sutch with an AXE, chopping up the piano.
My auntie never spoke to me again.

I have wonderful memories from when myself and my sister Shirley and friends Pat, Sheila, Pauline, & Cath went mostly to the Jungfrau & The Oasis clubs seeing live groups, dancing the night away to the great 60's music. Fankinstein & His Monsters, The Mersey Beats many many more, we always danced wearing our coats,it was so hot, we must have been mad!
Then later we went to places like Disco-Takis, the Top Ten at Belle Vue, all great places. Without costing a fortune to get in........ Happy days.
Before we were able to frequent the above and other clubs, we went to the 88 club, this was in cellars of a house on Wellington Street, Gorton, near where the cinema was in Manchester and was run by Mrs Folkes and her son, it was a youth club, and went there and the Sacred Heart youth club when we were 14,15 and 16, it was brilliant, a disco and soft drinks. The youngsters of today, probably don't have anything like this now a days, a sad sign of the times.
