Well, now, only just spotted this post. I went to the Blackpool Twisted Wheel on two or three occasions, I was living in Blackley, Manchester at the time. One time was on the coach trip from the Twist

There's a mention of it here. https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/soul-articles/twisted-wheel-memories-by-the-original-in-crowd-r183/
I seem to recall a conversation some years ago with someone talking about the Abadi brothers, and the fact they also had a club in Blackpool similar to the Wheel in Manchester, and running at the same time. Can any Wheel aficionados confirm this as true and to what extent did the club run to ie similar music policy, dates it ran from and to etc. It would be great to have comments from people who frequented the club and if there exists any photos you can upload. I believe this club rarely gets a mention but it was surely a big part of what was to become the Northern scene in Blackpool along with the then unheard of Highland Room. Thanks in advance, Tony.
