The talk of the north looked and was pretty huge inside, but now it's knocked down it looks so small the land. It's incredible!

Batley Variety Club - went on a coach trip for the works Xmas do. I had a Saturday job and I was 16 at the time. The Barron Knights topped the bill. I got so drunk and threw up on the coach on the way home.
After that it was Candy Peel in Heywood.

I watched Showaddywaddy at the Golden Garter once and didn't admit to it in my first post.
Does the Golden Garter count as a club?

My first 'proper' Saturday night out with the lads...
Started out at Browns in Levenshulme and then on to the Twisted Wheel.
Off my head by 11:30 - Came round some time the following Monday.
There followed several years of substance abuse.
Cheers lads (the few of you left who didn't die during the 70's).

You can't call that a nightclub they didn't serve alcohol and you only needed to be fourteen to get in, in those days.

The Talk of the North, the Golden Garter, Blightys - they were the original nightclubs - with cabaret, chicken in a basket, and dancing with a late drinking licence. Light years away from the nightclubs of today.

Porterhouse in Retford it was called the slaughterhouse locally.
If any trouble happened the dj would flash a light behind the dj booth that would go to the bouncers on the door. Some nights it was going on and off more than the disco lights.
Saw some cracking bands play there though the guy that owned it pulled some decent names in even though it was a smallish club,it had a room upstairs for them on friday and saturday nights. The locals were not that accomodating though and have seen just as many bands bomb. The Mac Lads played a couple of times the first time they got booed off stage after 2 shite songs, they came back on still got booed and one of them threw some water at the crowd, the barrage of beer that landed on the stage was something close to niagra falls. Fair play to them though they came back a few months later I didnt see them that time but apperently it was a cracking gig.
