It's a pity we haven't got somewhere centrally in Accrington with decent parking where people could see a variety of things from plays to opera to Shakespear to modern bands to some of the old 60s greats who are still alive and kicking.

A few weeks ago Emzie and I went to see Donnie Munroe in Morecambe at the Platform. It's central and there's a huge public car park just round the back behind the market. It was well attended and a great night was had by all.

They have tribute bands too and all sorts of stuff. Mind you even Morecambe isn't as good as it used to be but they are getting PJ Proby in October!! Guess who's going.

Maybe Accy residents just don't even think of going to Ossy Civic Theatre - which is a shame. We've been there, and the Thwaites Empire and King George's in Blackburn so it isn't necessarily size that matters although maybe some pros wouldn't perform at a small venue?
