At the Top of the Stairs: The Story of Leeds Central, Northern Soul and Jazz Funk

The story of a subterranean club in the backstreets of Leeds, that changed the lives of all who went there. Top of the Stairs tracks the origins of the Central Dance Club, from the early Mods, through the Northern Soul era to Jazz Funk, and ultimately back again. It captures the unique and personal stories of DJs and dancers alike, including stories from Tony Banks, Richard Searling, Ian Dewhirst, Twink, Paul Rowan and Pat Brady.

Good luck.

Many happy memories of this venue in my youth. Very reminiscent of the 100 club.

Really looking forward to this one.   Loved the Central and knew Steve during my long arrested adolesence, so it's a must buy for me.
