There was a night club at the bottom of Bradford street , Digbeth , it was called ye old moat house club . It was owned by rob pryke , who was also know in the market as the banana king due to him being the biggest importer of bananas in the city . His trait was that he always wore a bowler hat and a carnation in his button hole . My dad worked there in the 60's as a cloakroon attendant on a fri , sat and sunday night . I used to help him but then got a job in the kitchen , I also worked there fri sat and sun night , i was there for around 3 yrs , but left 6 months before i left harry lucas school in 1965
