50 years ago today this legendary Club shut its doors forever.

Wolverhampton's Catacombs was at the forefront of the underground dance scene for the best part of a decade. It was probably responsible for more more classic dance-soul finds than any other evening club between 1967 and 1974.
I virtually lived there!
It's where I met my late partner and soulmate Helen, RIP. It remains the most important place in my life, which its music defined.
Rest In Peace all the DJs and dancers no longer with us, not least Max Millward, Alan S, Froggy and Bob Crocker. Dancers and friends too numerous to mention - the list would be never ending!

It's legacy is strong and indelible.
Long may it continue.
