I once saw Champion Jack Dupree at a club on corner of Knowlmere St and Whalley Road about 1964. Can't remember the name of it though. There was a back room where there was lots of gambling. Neil Berry and Brian Boyd (anybody remember them?) used to really get into the sleazy card shark roles and they'd only be about 15 or 16 :-) There were some great local bands used to play there too. Also up and around the corner there was the 'Hearts' youth club which got packed solid on a Saturday night but closed down all of a sudden. Anybody remember those days?
