Saw Tony Christie performing there in the 70's. It was a bit of a crap-hole. The beer was cheap and plentiful, but it tasted like washing up water!

suprised no-ones mentioned the "Astoria" up Rawtenstall, not really a club as such, but a top venue in its day. good artists, some great birds, a damn good night.
