Re: Arcs 1960s
The Arcadian Ballroom was on Knowlemere Street, just off to your left at the top of Milnshaw Lane. The building itself which is still there, is quite old and looks like it used to be some sort of chapel or small school. I used to go there on Saturday nights round about 1966. Usually a local beat band on like the Dappers, Dansaks or Soundcasters. It was just one room with a dancefloor, seats round the side and a small bar selling soft drinks (if you wanted something stronger you had to nip out to the offie). I seem to remember it was a pretty rough place and there was usually at least one punch-up in the course of the evening. After going there for a few months, I "graduated" to Accy Con and then the Jazz Club.
