dave robinson wrote:The Dolce Vita and The Cavendish were both Bailey's night clubs in Birmingham. The acts were on the bill for a week at a time and would 'double' the two clubs. The top of the bill would be at The Cavendish at Yardley at 10pm, appearing at the Dolce Vita in Birmingham city centre at midnight. I did the entire Bailey circuit a dozen or more times, including clubs in Newcastle, Sunderland, South Shields, Stockton, Billingham, Sheffield, Barnsley, Blackburn, Liverpool, Leicester, Watford as well as the two in Birmingham. There may have been others but if there are more, they escape me for now.
Marvin and Farrar didn't play Batley, but they did play Wakefield Theatre Club. At Batley Variety Club it was MWF with Olivia Newton John at a different time. I know because I was there.
Hi Dave,
Many thanks for your info, that clears up all my questions.
Best wishes,
Ulrich
