The above poster advertising the Easter event in 1966, music was
a mix of Ska, Blue Beat and American Soul/Motown.
The Club was on two floors, it had a small stage and very low ceilings
just the place for live acts. Usually with two sound systems, one on each
floor. Upstairs Duke Reid played with
his home made sound system tucked away in a small corner, it was a large
box, stood about chest height, which housed the amp with a single record
deck on top. It had a selection of small lights on the front. The sound
was turned down at the end of each record as it was removed and replaced
with another disc, a large record box stocked with the latest sounds stood
by the side, it's lid open displaying the contents. Speakers stacked up
to the ceiling in each open room, pumping out the sound, using about 200
watts. The smell of hash in the air people dancing everywhere...
