There was at least Two Hundred Clubs in Cumbria alone and and about One Hundred and Fifty of those Clubs were Booking Entertainment every week end and some every night of the week, Thousands of people throughout Cumbria were entertained by wonderful Entertainers from all over the UK and Ireland it was the Clubs that were the new Theatres and Music Halls for the ordinery working people of Cumbria and we had our very own Stars if you could make it in the Clubs (not easy) this could be the start of some thing really big for you because many of our Club Stars made it to be National TV Stars or even internatioal Stars of Stage Screen and Radio, these were the years of live entertainment and this website is a Celebration and appreciation To All.

The Wonderful Calder The Market Hall Egremont Club Whitehaven. lately Refurbished 
The Calder Club was really the hub of the local Club scene for the indivdual artist, and at that time you had made it if you got a booking there, it had a at least 500 seater concert hall and a large lounge bar furnished with the most comfortable and even luxurious furnishings, where you could take your wife and feel that this was a big night out with some of our big TV Stars and
make no mistake they were there live and at a price we all could afford.
The Egremont Market Hall was the main Venue for Dance Bands and was the place to play if you were good enough.
These Venues are stll there and still being used, where 80% of all the other places where we used to play are no more, the sad thing is that lots of those wonderful Entertainers are also gone and that means that those of us that are still here have had a very big chunk of our lives taken away.
We also must remember all those Entertainers who visited our Clubs from all over the UK there are some of them on page 2.
If any body would like to add there name to our roll of memorys
please send picture to me via e-mail .
Here are some of the great Artist that we have not yet got pictures of Mr Vince Bragg, Mr Owen Bragg Jean Johnston Joe Burns, The Adair Family Band. Bob Newel.
