I also recall the band nights. I played there with Farons Flamingos as support to a local "glitter" band. I really enjoyed the night, my only complaint being the large ceiling that gave an echoey sound. The bar with its old oil paintings sticks in my memory and we stayed till the wee small hours drinking. Another night I saw Ian Hunter with his band. This was in the decline era of the club and the stage lights fused and it took 5 minutes before they were fixed. Ian Hunter continued singing during the blackout, a memorable night.
