Guest Dan Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 had some great nighters there in the mid to late 80s under shaun gibbons not exactly cutting edge but used to be packed. then went up one week and it was almost empty...like someone had flipped a switch or something. must have been competition i spose but it was very odd and much lamented...if not for those horrible national express coach journeys up from birmingham digbeth. back down on the sunday morning, cramped up in those seats four five hours, was like pure torture, literally some of the worst hours of my life Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Neil-ok Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Nice to see Morecambe getting back on the soul scene between the pier and the carleton rooms i had many a good nite up that way. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest 50box Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Nice to see Morecambe getting back on the soul scene between the pier and the carleton rooms i had many a good nite up that way. I remember there were a few shenanigans between those venues, aint it always the way. Didn`t one get cancelled with no warning once & travelling soulies get locked out. Might be wrong. Tom.
