Live at The Vic'
- Sixties Jamming!
Were you part of the North East Clubland Rhythm Group scene in the
Sixties? Do you remember The Downbeats, The Zephyrs, The Panthers, The
Gringos or any of the thousands of other groups who populated the working
men’s club scene in the area around this time? then read on - this concerns
you!
We are bringing together many semi-pro local musicians and singers who
worked the North East Working Men's Club circuit during the Sixties to
meet and swap stories, songs and pictures. Tudhoe Victory Club, on the
outskirts of Spennymoor, Co.Durham, have kindly donated the use of their
excellent Concert Room on the second Thursday in every month.
The evenings are intended to be very informal - providing an opportunity
not only for the working artistes of our era to perform as we did back
then but also for performers of all ages to strut their stuff to a live
backing and in front of a live audience. Free amplification and PA equipment
will be provided!

amazing years that helped shape the cultural landscape of the
nation.
