Hi, I lived around accrigton and clayton as a teenager, and I am wondering if anyone else remembers the old Arcs on Saturday and Sunday nights during the 60s?:)
 
Hi and welcome, yes I used to go up the Arcs on Saturday night from about 60 to 63, had some great old times. Also the Empire up Ossy on Wednesdays.
 
hi shazfury, the arts as i called it cliff used to run it, alan was the bouncer, sorry i don,t remember it.:D
 
Shaz I used to live on Croft St and Westwood St didn't know it as Arks but as Empress Dancing Hall Knowlmere St. Am I on the right track?

Welcome to accyweb too
 
Hi ber, I dont remember it as the Empress Dancing Hall. It must be the same place, probably the Arts not Arcs.We used to regularly see Jon Anderson in the Warriors before he became a member of Yes. His brother Tony was also in the Warriors.Does anyone know what happened to him?
 
Hi, I used to go up Knowmere St on Saturday nights, probably from 1958-1962. Usually the Knowmere St. crowd also went up Morts:down the Vic:
( in Clayton) Funny, we all had good times and (to my knowledge) never used drugs. (or knew about them) much different these days.
