No way! Cheers for that, you're a legend. I must have been well underage when I went in there. I didn't think I started going out regularly till 1988.
As for Africas/Dolly Greys (and I'm sure it was called Funnies before that) that was a totally seperate place. That was next to the railway bridge on Blackburn Road.

Can anyone settle an argument please, we were discussing Shifters nightclub over the weekend and couldn't agree when exactly it closed. I was guessing about 1990 but not really sure. Cheers
