Thread Name: Seventies Folk Club in Ashton UK
Subject: RE: Seventies Folk Club in Ashton UK
This 2023 Manchester Evening News article mentions a "Gaslight Rooms" & there is an exterior photo.
Blues became Ashton's first gay nightclub in 1981 after changing its name from The Gaslight Rooms. Situated on Stamford Street Central, Blues became part of Pinkies disco bar in the 1990s.
I couldn't find anything now on the website mentioned by Ian ^05 Jan 14 - 12:23 PM https://www.manchesterbeat.com And couldn't find a current Bridge Street in Ashton; closest are Audenshaw, Duckinfield or Stalybridge.
[The Gas Lamp pub in Manchester happens to be on Bridge Street Manchester but that's quite new (2010) [btw,,, unaccompanied mostly trad singaround, third Sundays]]
