Re: Can you name the songs you danced too?
Don't know where it was as I never actually went there, but people used to tell me how good it was. There were some great soul clubs in this area in the '60's. Apart from the famous Accy Disco and Preston Stax club, there was Blackburn Stax club, Burnley Mecca, the Bird Trap in Brierfield and, if you were the really adventurous type, the Twisted Wheel in Manchester.

Re: Can you name the songs you danced too?
In that case, you probably don't remember any of those clubs. Wigan Casino and Blackpool Mecca perhaps? Went to both of those clubs in the 70's, but I have to admit to being in my 20's by then.

Re: Can you name the songs you danced too?
Remember going to Blackpool Mecca, when there was a free bus from Accy on Friday nights.
Remember the Lodestar, too. Also Blackburn Mecca when it was the Golden Palms. |

Re: Can you name the songs you danced too?
I too grew up in the 70s. Can remember dancing to Drifter's, Tina Turner, ABBA, etc. etc. Remember dancing to them at the Sports Centre disco also the Big D, up Ossy. Also once in a while the Sacred Heart had a disco. Remember going into the pub at the cornor of Harvey Street (underage) before going to the Big D. Later on I progressed to the Hop in Burnley then the Loadstar. Anybody remember the Astronaught on Union Street, that had a disco upstairs but nobody was not meant to dance as they didn't have a licence. :
