The first all night club that I knew about outside Manchester. Only small, but an electric atmosphere.

I was still at school in 1964/65 and I was helping out in the cloakroom of the Top Twenty club. Reverend Black and the Rocking Vicars were playing. I believe Lemmy out of Motorhead was rhythmn guitarist at the time.
It was the first time I had ever seen a band live and I thought they were fantastic!!!! I remember the bass player was a scottish man and his party piece was rotating his head and whipping his hair around, which sent the audience wild.

We used to leave the Wheel/Blue Note and catch the bus from Picadilly and to the Top Twenty for the morning session, always remember a guy there called Clarky and another called Kennedy
Never knew the place was in Hollinwood - used to just catch a bus and seem to get there (being a Wigganer, Manchester was the place to be, if you wanted to hear the sounds)
Also remember The Dolphin at Picadilly where all the gear was sold. Ahh fond memories 10 dex for a pound (old money). Hey bring back those days
Tunes they played could not be heard anywhere else (1970-71).
Two records really stand out - Hey girl dont bother me - Tams and Jackie Edwards' Feel so bad.
It certainly was a long walk back to Victoria bus station but all worthwhile.
