Hi, I used to play in an R&B group in the 1960s called the Manchester Roadrunners played at most of the clubs, Twisted wheel all nighters were the best, backed the Hollies e t c.
A strange club was the Spiders Web, I think it was run by a couple of gangsters
and was quite creepy, liked to pack up real quick and get out of the place,
Also played at the Large Sporting clubs, if you were later than 7 pm you would not get a seat, the entertainment was a singer / stripper / and a group, hot pot supper was also on tap, happy days
