Barry Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Kev Edwards, Bad Ass, Fergie, Ray Rose, Soul Sam amongst others on the decks, so a real mixed bag was always on offer - this venue kind of broached your normal soul venue's approach to what could be played to a crowd I think. Sam Dees (twice), Leroy Hutson, Benny Latimore, Jo Armstead, Shirley Jones, Willie Clayton, Candyce McCord, Omar Chandler, Willie Clayton, Ronnie McNeir, Billy Griffin, The Three Degrees, Keni Stevens, Fifth Of Heaven, Northbeat, Alison Limerick were just some of the acts that performed at this little roof-top venue in Warrington.

Can't remember - do recall several footie players having a good night out though! Was it Paul ince and Paul Parker? Also recall Sam Dees, think he'd done Southport the night before. This was at the time of "After all", which of course was goosebump stuff, but he also did "Lonely for you baby" to the delight of the NS people there!

Guest Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Wow! The Carlton. That brings back memories. Great nights out, Brian Rae as dj, one of the nicest human beings I have ever known. At the end of the night it was down to the Hoagy Wagon near the station before trundling home. I didn't live in Warrington long (I was only related by marriage!) but I had a great time while I was there.
Dave Rimmer Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 It probably will have been, Brian Rae did a weekly soul thing there. (As well as the Bell Hall if anyone can remember that far back). It was up two flights of stairs!? The Carlton was up two flights of stairs, and it took you into the club which was above Woolworths. From my fading memory I don't think there was even a sign above the door at the side of Woolies, just a door ! Inside I remember it being dark, with dividing panel things that used to have huge cartoons on them, fairly small dancefloor as well for the size of the club. Seems so long ago now, this would have been 75 / 76 time.
Guest skorpiano Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 God, the Carlton Club, that really brings back memories, anyone remember the Patton Arms by the station? always good for a few ales while waiting for the train to Wigan.
Winsford Soul Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 God, the Carlton Club, that really brings back memories, anyone remember the Patton Arms by the station? always good for a few ales while waiting for the train to Wigan. Used to go in the Patton Arms most Sat,s Get the last Crosville bus from Widnes, Just catch last orders, then get the train over the road at Bank Quay to the Casino. Steve
Guest skorpiano Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 I remember you, you were that bloke by the bar ... good beer I remember though.
Guest Mark Holmes Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 The Carlton Club was an institution in Warrington. Huge hangout for the Yanks during the war with plenty of knee trembling activities in the alleyway by the side of the church (according to my dad). I remember jazz funk nights in the early 80's there before i moved to the USA in '86, the rockers had friday nights, the soul and funk was on Saturdays, strippers Saturday lunchtime, the place did it all. I know Ike and Tina Turner performed there as well as a slew of other high end acts. The Hoagy Wagon was the scene of many people leaving there well earned money in the Crossville bus station parking lot after too much to drink around town. The same parking lot that later saw Mr Smiths action. Happy Days
Guest mooma Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 used to go to the Carlton Club on a sunday night after the WHEEL in the 1970s. BObby Houghton Dennis Shannon Weno and many others were mates of mine! GREAT TIMES had back then sue bushby
