I'm trying to picture it, down the stairs and turn right through the doors and the place was very
kitsch 70s, stainless steel, carpets, leather type chairs and a glass dance floor (or part of it
was). It was oh so long ago...........................
Does anybody remember this please ? It was downstairs underneath a multi-story car park, I think opposite Bentalls department store. Not a true soul venue by any accounts although they mostly did play soul stuff.
What was the name ?
Any info appreciated.

Here's a another Wigan nutcase story...........................
I think this could be the one used to appear at wigan with paraphanallia such as
huge water shooting sunflowers, stuffed parrots and he once interrupted a massive
argument between me and my girlfriend at the time by sitting in between
us with a plastic pineapple asking her if she had seen his coconuts.
Found this, dating from July, 2001 (thank heavens for the internet !!)
that bloke was Tommy Dillon from Warrington......one of our mob. He got
busted for possession of stolen goods (the phone) when we were on a coach on
our way to Cleethorpes.
Yep Dave Burton was working at Harlequin record shop and he bought a trunk load of stuff that included The Coaster, the Cooperettes I picked
up at an electrical shop down the Edgeware road.
I was once told a story that there used to be a bloke who went to the Casino who walked around with a telephone receiver in his hand and would pounce on the unsuspecting and say "It's for you !!".......true or false..........
Been on the buy again...........................

Whilst it wasn't nicked travelling up to the Torch the brakes failed on the motorway had to very gingerly get teh car slowed down and parked. At 08:00 go looking for a breakers yard to find a brake pipe, now that really was an example of "coming down".
Try cross referencing Friends Reunited with Facebook then Google it, divide by Linkedin and that should find them
I just found an old girlfriend that I hadn't spoken to for 28 years and hadn't seen for 35 years, she's married with a
different name now of course, but shows it can be one.
PS Where's Webby ? No longer on SS ???
