Dizzy Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't think I ever did as it doesn't look familiar. I'm sure my dad mentioned playing at the Carlton though prior to the 70's. Middlec.... where the other pic cos you said 'either of these' ... unless you mean 'Top Man' as I do remember going in there but not until at least the 80's.

Yes, sorry, as the pic features both frontages I meant both Top Man and the Carlton. I don't ever remember going to the Carlton, or Top Man for that matter, but it's possible I did.

fugtifino Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'd think the Carlton was a rite of passage for most people around about those years. I used to go when I lived in Irlam, rock or soul nights, it didn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugtifino Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Never tried that the matinee sessions, Baz, 'cos I'm sensible! I'll be at the Boxworks tonight, there's always a few faces there that were regulars at the Carlton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Any of you oldsters ever go to "Bennett's'" club (Bennett's as in the cake works at the top end of Wellfield Street) in Sankey Street, it was at the back of the Rendezvous Cafe, in the late 1950's.
