A trip down memory lane around Manchester....

[Mike N]

When me and my mates first started going to clubs we were 17, we could only ever get into Rotters. Not bad because it was easy enough to walk down from Hulme. Really enjoyed it but every now and again we'd bump into lads from Liverpool or Wigan, etc and the night would end with a bit of bloodshed, usually ours! Happy days

didn't you just love how your feet used to stick to the carpet in Rotters - ahhh happy days

oh yes! I also remember the John Bull which stuck your shoes to the carpet, very salubrious!

Did anyone ever go to the John Willie Lees Cabaret Bar around the back of the Arndale? I went to a live night there once and it was brilliant.

Had some great nights in here - The Land of Cakes - now Bem Brasil

Used to work over the road for a while and be in there most dinners.
