An email from Julie Addison recalled memories of Baileys nightclub in Watford town centre. She wrote: “You asked if anyone had any memories of Baileys, I have many. I used to go every Wednesday night without fail.

“As my friend Marion was going out with the manager we were able to get table four each time, this table was right at the front.

“We saw many groups and singers and never had a boring night. It was the 1970s and was at the time when the girls mostly wore long dresses. Very often we got to meet the artists performing at the club, although not the top artists.

“The one I would have dearly loved to have met was Gene Pitney. He was my absolute favourite going right back to his first hit 24 Hours from Tulsa.

“The thing I recall about Baileys is that in all the time I went there I never ever saw any fights or trouble, not like the nightclubs these days.

“I wonder how many people will recall the good times we had at Baileys.”
