Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington

I have just Googled 77 Club Briefield after a suggestion from jaysay.

Hooray the free pint is mine..

I found a story from the Tornados and Robb Huxley talks about how he played with them at Burnley Cabaret and in the same evening at the 77 Club Briefield. The Searchers played the two clubs the opposite way around.

Thanks for the suggestions and thank you for the 77 tip jaysay, sorry I won't be able to share my pint with you.

Another Club I frequented a lot around that time was the Burnley Embassy where I helped out a bit, I still have my membership card Norman Brown the owner gave me.

Both Clubs were exciting for me coming from Todmorden. I only ever visited Accrington once before I emigrated here and that was to the Big Crown, there were all small rooms then before it was opened up and a mate had a group who was booked there, Logger and the Lumberjacks was the name.
