This page is dedicated to all the promoters and club-owners who tried to provide a place to party and have a good time! Here are some shots of two Nightclubs in Lynchburg! Also lets remember a few club-owners "in memory!"
THE RAINBOW CLUB WAS OWNED BY KENNETH EDWARDS AND WIFE, AND LOCATED ON WARDS RD. IN LYNCHBURG! THE CLUB IS NO LONGER THERE, AND WAS ALMOST ON THE LOCATION WHERE THE GOLDEN CORAL IS NOW. DJ'S LIKE "SIR CHARLES, SAM THE BEAST, MR. MUSIC, COUNT JAY, AND VOICE MACHINE" WOULD ROCK THE HOUSE! IF IT WASN'T FOR A FEW PATRONS THAT CAUSED A FEW INCIDENTS, THE RAINBOW WOULD BE WITH US NOW! HAS ANYONE NOTICED THAT MOST CLUB-OWNERS LEFT US EARLY IN LIFE?? RUNNING A CLUB IS VERY, VERY STRESSFUL!!
THE 707 CLUB, PER IT'S NAME WAS LOCATED AT 707 5TH, ST, LYNCHBURG! THE CLUB WAS OWNED BY KEVEN EDWARDS, KENNETH'S BROTHER! THE BUILDING IS NO LONGER THERE, AND WAS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE NEW FIFTH & FEDERAL STREET ROUNDABOUT!
IF YOU EVER WENT TO THE CLAIMJUMPERS, GLASSHOUSE, RAINBOW, OR THE 707 CLUB, YOU REMEMBER THESE SONGS, courtesy you tube.
LETS REMEMBER GEORGE HARRIS AND THE SPORTSMANS CLUB FORMALLY LOCATED AT 5TH & POLK STS. IN LYNCHBURG! "UP ON THE BLOCK!!" ALL THOUGH THE SPORTSMANS CLUB IS NO LONGER THERE, NOW A PARKING LOT, MS. GLORIA FRANKLIN HAS POSTED A FEW PICTURES ON THE "LYNCHBURG HISTORY" SITE!
REMEMBER IN THE LATE 70'S, THE PLACE TO BE WAS THE "SWINGING T" CLUB IN PALMYRA, VA! HARVEY HACK WAS THE MANAGER! HERE ARE A FEW SHOTS OF "BEAST FROM THE EAST" FROM NOVEMBER 1977!
"BILLY" EANES, REMEMBER ERNIST DISCO IN FARMVILLE? IT IS NOW CALLED FEVERS, AND IS STILL GOING STRONG AND ONE OF THE BEST CLUBS IN THE AREA! WILLIAM HARDING IS THE OWNER NOW (remember "the voice machine?") ... FOR THE NEW FEVERS WEB-SITE (CLICK HERE)!!
