First went there in 1965-I was 15yrs old.Remember going up the flight of stairs and the bar on the right,crammed to the door with guys.Went up another flight and the ballroom was on the right and as I walked in there was these gorgeous girls dancing in groups in the middle of the dance floor with their bags at their feet.Mini skirts maxi skirts, coloured tops,cropped hair long hair beehive hair....wow.The guys were circling around the girls like pack animals.Took me 4/5 weeks to pluck up courage to chat someone up,and even then had to wait till she went to the coffee bar which was behind the stage to do it.Remember one year the Mindbenders played there(could have been xmas time)The place was heaving.Also remember a local group called Gideon's way who were pretty good. It was a great stomping ground for the accy youth......also remember going to the arcade for a quick snog before she caught her last bus home.
Does anyone else have fond memories of the con club......
