Express and Star, Saturday, 4/5/72.

This was the last night before the club closed for refurbishment. It reopened in September having had something of a facelift. The dance floor was re-laid and extended and the old stage was replaced with something much less defined. The clock with no hands that graced the wall at the back of the stage was deemed surplus to requirements and did not survive the re-fit.
