Seems that Clitheroe Kate was running a pub in 2009 at 6 Mincing Lane called, funnily enough, ‘Clitheroe Kate’s.’ It used to be ‘The Old Bank’.  Don’t know if it’s still there or if it’s been renamed.  Bar Ibiza crops up online a lot. Not sure if it’s the same place 

Anyone know what happened to Clitheroe Kate who used to hold a drag night at Peepers back in ‘84 on a Tuesday (Thursday?) night?

There was never even a hint of violence in the place I went to. Just kids dressed up to look like Bowie or Numan. But it was fairly quiet being a mid-week night

Bogarts (think it was called something else at one stage) on Cranberry Lane? probably not the one your thinking as its not just off Bolton Road , but they did do New romantic nights around that time.

Could have been special nights at the Crown Social club or Hollins Grove.

Was it called the Red House @old darwen blue on Cravens brow? Seem to remember a band night in a function room there , maybe they had new romantic nights?

Bogarts rings a bell. It was definitely a 2 syllable word and I’m pretty sure it began with a B or a D,  so  Bentleys, Bogarts, Blakeys, Doobies .... something like that. I only went a handful of times on a mid-week night (Tue or Thurs was ‘Alternative’ night  if I remember rightly. Used to dress up like Gary Numan - Ha! ) It was definitely somewhere en route to Darwen as I used to get the bus which went under the bridge and along Bolton (?)  Rd 

Anyone remember a club which I think was on Bolton Rd on the way to Darwen which used to have a New Romantics night in 82-83?

Does anyone remember Clitheroe Kate’s drag evening at Peepers in 83/84? I think it used to be on a Tuesday but it may have been a Thursday. Funnily enough the venue used to be famous for heavy rock acts. Strange bedfellows, eh?
