Malc Burton so when did it start and finish ?(years and tmes) & was it a nighter ? thats another one VaVa's, always talked about in hushed tones, there were 8 lads from our villiage who used to go there all the time it was open and they love it ! Rob

Yes the 'boy Donnelly' done well there Certainly a crackin forgotten Hose st track. Bit of post Motown stuff from Mary Not heard meself for ages. certainly worth a spin occasionally even nowadays-I would have thought

I was thinking that Malc, However I vaguely remember there could have been statues at Tiffanies Newcastle. Any eagle eyed all dayer attendees from back in the day confirm??
