I believe that the oldest of the Blues clubs was Jordan’s at the bottom of Broomspring Lane, which I have been told opened in 1962. Sonny’s was on Brunswick Street (with a card school running upstairs), and Solly’s was on Hanover Street. CJ’s opened in 1982 I think, behind the remaining Hanover Street shops. Some people would occasionally put on a Blues to raise some money or to celebrate an event, including a couple on Havelock Square.
In addition to a few spirits, they sold tins of Long Life and Red Stripe, and ‘Nutriment’. Jordan’s was known for Jordan’s wife, Sweetie’s baked fish, and they sold curried goat too. There was a room for talking and a room for dancing, and you had to be known to get in.
