After being denied entry to Club 70, because he didn’t “look enough.” John had no idea he was about to embark on a journey that would lead him to create a legendary part of Edmonton’s history when he helped to open Flashback, which he described as a nightclub for everyone. Flashback would be regaled as the “Studio 54” of the prairies where you could be and do anyone. Join us as John recounts memories from behind the bar and across the dance floor, including stories from friends past and present at the raising of the iconic Flashback sign as the newest addition to Edmonton’s Neon Sign Museum. Flashback may now be gone, but its memories will never fade away.
