Morecambe Dome

[Barry]

Anyone remember this short lived oddity of a niter?

[ockers]

yes

werent too many there though i seem to remember because shaun gibbons secured the carleton inn not long after to continue the soul promotions niters there

probabaly a handful i seem to remember and none too well attended

its a venue in two bits waterfront bar and the dome itself

its still being used as a venue

arctic monkeys pop group performed there 170207

we thought about using it for the morecambe weekender in april but theres a childrens music festiav using that facility that weekend

think you will find that the venue was used by shaun gibbons around 86/87 when the morecambe pier had to be closed due to health and safety and a fire after the scooter boys vandalised the pier

You're probably right, I think I attended three of 'em - always sparce in attendance - I think it had a sports floor, like Hinckley Leisure Centre - Remember Sam doing two of 'em and possibly Dave Evison though my memory is a little shaky.

I was going to stick this in the 'Fashion Victims' thread as I remember going there in a trilby, three quarter length bottle green jeans and a matching cap sleeve T - Ouch!!

after the scooter boys vandalised the pier

I remember walking over from the pub that did the warm up (anyone??) and it kicking off.

the pier closed due to a fire at the front arcade and you couldnt get though to the ballroom at the end of the pier. did anyone attend the allnighter at the dome when there was a higher than normal tide and the dome got flooded and had to be evacated funny as

The pier was shut well before the fire due to the structure being twisted and classed as unsafe the fire was much later when they were debating whether to restore it or not, story goes it was an insurance job as for the Dome didnt do all of them , couldnt stand the light coming in at 4 in the morn killed the place
