I wonder if anybody remembers an old picture house that was turned into Accrington Palace Theatre (or cabaret) Club on Blackburn Road, just before the traffic lights at Church, in the early 1960's.
Mick Shaun was the MD, and one of the managers was Eric Rimmer..lots of stars appeared there..including Frank Ifield, Craig Douglas, Emiel Ford..the list is long....they used to also appear at a club in Manchester belonging to the same people, I think it was called Manchester Cabaret Club.........the Accrington club had a 'staff' Van the driver was called Frank..he used to take the stars between the two clubs, and also take the accy staff home.
