Guest SteveJohnston Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Alterego is a cellar club with a great atmosphere that I'm sure the Wheel regulars will take to with no problems at all this Sunday, Pete you will enjoy it mate I'm sure, I wish you well and a speedy return to your the Twisted Wheel home. Steve J
Guest SteveJohnston Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Could you tell me is it far from Piccalilly station we get there at about 1.30. It's a shorter walk than NQ Live! walk down Portland street to the lights at Princesses street turn left and Alterego is 50 yards on the left. It's not looking good I'm sorry to report, the fire is spreading and there are now concerns for the building itself. Steve J

John Green Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Could you tell me is it far from Piccalilly station we get there at about 1.30.

Northernjordan Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Just walked past it, looks like it's been pretty gutted. Such a shame...
Guest SteveJohnston Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Just spoke to Carl and he told me the roof of the building is on fire, as you can imagine Carl & Sue are feeling this big time after all the hard work turning this club round from something no soul fan would have set foot in too the home of the famous Twisted Wheel. It's been a hard slog for the NQ Live team.i know Carl & Sue are family but I would really feel for anyone that had shown so much dedication and hard work if they lost it due to no fault of there own. I hope Pete and the Twisted Wheel family take to Alterego IMO it's a club made for the Wheel. Steve J

Guest SteveJohnston Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 It affects so many life's when this happens to a firman, we all know to well this kind of thing happens with the dangerous job but when it's arson it's so much harder to take.
