Being from Bolton I remember va-va but wasn't old enough to attend,
My lasting memory is while the venue was in the basement of a multi storey building the va-va sign was on the top of the building, where I presumed the all-night 'disco' was happening,
Was yeara later, when attending one of it's various night club guises I realised it was in the basement and from the description of the va-va decor it hadn't changed much,
As the article says, it's still there
