FIGHTS?
To be honest, I’m really not surprised there were fights at The Jungle. The Doormen, some of them boxers, needed to be tough and weigh in on the mayhem inside before it got out of hand. You had sailors with loads of money, months of unspent salary and looking for some fun and “relaxation” and you had regular locals who were just there to drink pints and try and pull a barmaid or local girl who was in there.
Competition would have been tough, especially for the pretty girls. Add to that a whole pile of b**r and a tonne of testosterone and you’ve got yourself a tinder box! Locals V Sailors. 🥊
Lads might have worn relaxed sports tops and suede jackets, hair a bit longer than these days, with “curtain”fringes. Thanks to Simon for modelling one of Mark’s fantastic wigs.
Justine, dressed as a stunning barmaid or could be a local lass, wearing a bobbed blonde wig, completely changing her look as her natural hair is thick, long and black! Justine | The Workshop | Crafting Workshops
Lots of people would be smoking tabs, quite normal in pubs on the 1970s, but these are stage ci******es, so completely safe to hold only.
Bit of behind the scenes footage from our dress rehearsal thanks to Mike Matthews for his support with this - we are all loving every minute of this - so really looking forward to capturing your photos at the I Love North Shields Vintage Market on Sunday 25th October at the Salt Market Social
Sessions are 20minutes with a maximum of four people per group. You will be styled and dressed with clothes fitting over your own, then Emma will chat through your character and suggest some poses. As part of your experience you will receive one colour print.
