    Question Just Rock & Pitrones

    Help me. I am old and have trouble remembering some things.

    When did Just Rock close up and when did Pitrones shut down?

    Thanks.

    Re: Just Rock & Pitrones

    Unfortunately Just Rock closed it's doors years ago and Pitrones is now some sort of retirement village.
    Such a shame though, had many a good dance and classes at Just Rock over the years.

    But where have ALL the old rock n rollers gone ?? It seems most people these days are doing some sort of jive/swing ( not sure what it's actually called) and the " old
    school " rock n roll is dying?

    G’day Rob
    I’m not sure when Just Rock finished up but I suspect it may have been 1999 or 2000. Pitrones, I figure, finished in December 2001 because when it became known that it was closing, Lyndon (Shadoogie) decided to find somewhere else in the same area for the rockers to go on Wednesday nights and eventually started the rock & roll nights at the Freccia Azzurra. A poster I have shows the “Grand Opening Night” was on 20th February 2002. Hope that helps jog your memory
    Cheers

    I can't remember (old age setting in) but pitrones stopped in 1999. I was invited to the last ever show there, it was a closed of function. I also had the honor of singing the very last song (my way). In regards to just rock it finished some time before. The dancers are still out and about, just at different venues. Some come to my dances, some go to Little Maria and so on.
