Bobba Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 I remember him well from the early days (1960/61) when he was a Bouncer at the Mecca venue "The Glen" adjacent to The Downs in Bristol. No alcohol served in the dance hall. A separate club (The Tudor Club) was for alcohol and you had to produce a birth cert for a poly photo members card to show 18+. He was a gentle giant in DJ and black tie. To wind him up boys would jive together (which he disliked)as he patrolled the dance hall. At which point you were "gently" escorted off the premises. I was one of those escorted off the premises by Prowsie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 I loved his Bristol accent in the Vader costume 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I remember him being the green cross code man from my childhood. Also the jolly green giant. It was years later I learned he was Darth Vader. Not a bad innings 85 RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
