Digital Photograph. Copyright Peter Rivron. Ryde Queen, she was a nightclub in the 70s, Island Harbour, Isle of Wight. For more images visit www.solentphotography.com
1978-1980 the Ryde Queen was a regular haunt for us. First listened & danced to Chic & other funk bands. Had some great nights out there and at other discos on the IoW. Where are they all now & do the young still gather to dance the night away? MGB
What a ship, reminds me of myself! LOL This would make a great painting, it sets the waves of imagination on a Ryde! Wonder what her story is? do u know? great shot! Ty4 the comments on my work n poem! Cheers 2 u n keep sailing those seas of creativity!
