Called a mini Wigan Casino it has 3 sided balcony and large sprung maple dance floor and seperate large bar. We begin the night with a look at the music of the early soul clubs of our area, the Birdtrap, Harrison's Hoist, Twisted Wheel etc

Stevie Frear called it a mini Wigan Casino. It's club classics with enthusiasm and the best of Northern and Motown, it's worked for 26 years

Before refurb we had 3 events over the year of 350 each, I think the idea is to limit numbers for the first one, see how it goes. I will update ticket sales next week.

200 TKTS sold, historically therewasa 50/50 split between otd and ticket sales so it's possible it could be a lockout, I suppose people want to see the beautiful restoration work also.
