Lived in Longsight and every Christmas my family took me to the pantomime -late 40's early 50's. or alternately to the Circus at Belle Vue on Boxing Day.Dave Ewing's Back 'eader said:Thought that was the Ardwick Hippodrome!
In those days the Apollo was an ABC cinema seating about 2,000. - as big as the Odeon on Oxford Street. Happy days.
There was/is the Hulme Hippodrome iirc.
Aah the Hulme Hippodrome - I used to go there on Tuesday nights in the 60's to watch them record Pop North with Dave Lee Travis as the compere in his 30's gangster suit and in his 30's gangster car
I remember The Move throwing electric bananas into the audience - vibrators LOL
Great music and the great Mercer/Allison City team - Brilliant times
