Kev Cane Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Hi all A good mate of mine was asking me if there was anywhere playing Blackpool Mecca stuff, particularly from the 1976-1978 era, any info would be appreciated, especially North East area as he is keen to visit suitable venues Best Regards Kev
Daved Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Steve Plumb runs a do called Oh So Soulful 70s or something like that which is probably what you're looking for. It's in the Leyland area I think.
Kev Cane Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 Cheers Daved, will pass info on, I should have known about Steve's do, thanks for reminder. Any one else any suggestions ? Kev
Guest Mellorful Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 In the period stated the link below suggests the Mecca could have been described as a disco? https://www.milliondollardisco.com/northerndisco.html You will need to forgive my ignorance but I was still at school in the late 70's so I missed the experience.
Epic Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 There is a "Mecca Memories" night at The Samlesbury Hotel (Preston) on November 22nd. DJs Colin Curtis, Pete Haigh, Steve Naylor & Andy Lett - the music is the post Northern era - 1975-77/78 & focuses on the Disco & Jazz Funk tunes played there. This is an annual event - we are now in our fifth year & the previous four have been brilliant !!! Sounds right up your mates street !!
