Not very good on these things but tried again
I recall going to the Casino on Sunday nights around 1968. I don't remember the cabaret acts so much but I distinctly remember the 'chicken in a basket with chips'! We used to go in the entrance on Millgate and there was a longish corridor with a couple of 'beefy bouncers' at the end of it. Not that I ever recall trouble of any kind.
Vb: I also was gong to the casino around that year, 68/69 remember the rage with chicken in the basket, didn't get much gravy though!
When you used the millgate entrance was that not called the pally lee dance which was a different club that had a connecting door to the casino.
went to the casino & palais le dance 60s the connecting door was on the balcony in the casino.freddie starr &the delmonts appeared at the palais
Not sure Gibo it's a long,long time ago.... There was a dance floor. It was quite nice and I think you mean the Palais de Dance. We only went a few times.
Quite right A H there was a connecting door Christmas Eve you could walk through free to the Palais I remember seeing Lynne Perrie later in Coronation street one Sunday night on stage in the Palais she was good too
