Artists the like of Mat Munroe etc graced the boards of that establishment, it faded into oblivion with the onset of gaming reform.
Yeh, Ian's correct was down Blackburn. Extremely good value, always had two good, and many well-known acts on every Saturday night (and other nights I think). Small gaming room upstairs, which I presume paid for the entertainment. My ex, friends and myself were sorry when it closed. Pretty sure I saw Mat Munroe myself.

Remember Ken Pilling too, but not much about him.
