Guys 1960s
1968
Then, Guys opened in Bromsgrove Street:
“Even
seedier than the Nightingale (Guys in Bromsgrove Street), so hot, all
done in little caves and there were mostly boys, men, in various stages
of undress. It was a place you’d hate to see in the daylight, but you
used to go because it was someone different from the Nightingale, if
you could get a man to sign you in. They were usually pretty good,
they’d realised we were here and here to stay: ‘We might as well sign
them in as have them standing in the street being noisy’”.
