Remember it well. When it opened in the Summer of '67 it was a welcome alternative to Accy Con - a huge ballroom which seemed to have a high proportion of rockers and ten-years-too-late teddyboys prowling the floor looking for trouble and where huge punchups seemed to erupt on a regular basis.

The Disco was a much cooler place than that - guys in mohair suits and good-looking girls all dancing to the fantastic music they played - Motown, Stax/Atlantic and loads of other great soul records.

Remember the DJ - a big guy called Mick? And how all the scooters used to be parked up in rows on the bank carpark opposite? Great days!
