Great memories of the place and the groups. Never did see the Hollies there but saw them at Burnley Mecca, but we enjoyed Gerry and the Pacemakers,Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders,Freddie and the Dreamers(a great stage act and very funny),Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas, Cat Stevens and many more.
Once or twice we bypassed the Imp and headed for Liverpool...we saw Hermans Hermits at the Cavern,The Searchers(my fav group) at the Iron Door Club and we also saw a very young Cilla Black singing there.
Happy memories of days that will never return.
