The Rock Garden was a popular place too in queen street and i remember Sean Dickson worked in Flip the clothes shop across the road.
I don't think Russell Barrie was in either of those bands but he was in the Berlin Blondes. Anne-Marie Timoney the actor used to work in the Rock Garden.
Mickey Rooney from the Primevals used to work in 'wee Bloggs' in St Vincent St with Calum Cuthbertson of the Subs (Gimme Your Heart).
