Great Times At The Emabssy Welling

A Memory of Welling.

You mention the Embassy Ballroom in Welling. I first started going there in 1953 (when I was 14 but looked older as you needed to be 16 to get in!) and carried on going until I went into the Army (National Service) in 1958. My abiding memory of the Emabssy was seeing both the Johnny (not John in those days) Dankworth Seven and the Ted Heath Band on the same bill. Later it was Ronnie Scott and his group alongside Ted Heath.

Besides the music entertainment the on floor entertainment wasn't too bad either i.e. the 'chicks' (remember that term?). And I was only 14-17 at the time! What a great way to grow up. Those were the days indeed.

I remember Lorraine's coffee bar in Welling High Street. All the "scooter boys" went there. I met my now husband there when I was 16 over 50 years ago!
