We Grew Up on the Isle of Wight Facebook group recently. Ruth Thornley posted a photo of The Royal York Hotel in Ryde (main image above) and asked if people remembered the 69 Club there and dozens of people commented that they had their best nights out there ever in the 1960s, 70 and 80s!
Scroll though our gallery of pictures above to see more. Facebook group members recalled dancing to the Cherokees, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Nice, Moody Blues, Geno Washington and the Ram Jam band, Jimmy James and the Vagabonds, Gene Vincent and Black Sabbath there, as well as Dave Cannon s popular discos in the 1980s.
