The cav didn't last long as gambling club Atarah in fact after the fire in the early 70s they did away with what was the casino part (which was turned into a Go Go dance room) and made it into one big room although the cabaret was always great there even after the demise of the casino, but of course it was run by the Bailey organisation with John Smith as CEO, it was a multi venue company with clubs all over England, there were two very big clubs in Sheffield and Watford, and others in Liverpool Oldham Bristol Newcastle Carlisle, and others
