Thanks for the geographical correction, Cashman. I wasn't a native of Accrington in those days, but I recall having a 'ball' so to speak at the Empire with the girl who became my wife and has been the light of my life ever since. Made some great friends there, too, many of whom we are still in touch with today.

Accy Con Club was supposedly the 'posh' dance venue. Most of the local factories held their seasonal shindigs there. I was banned from the place for three months for battering some moron who grabbed my then girl-friend's chesticles. The ban was forgotten after two weeks when the perverted scumbag (who was on bail) was sent down for the attempted rape of another girl.

Ah! the joys of youth.
