“We have a found a little niche. It is feel good music.

"Everyone knows the songs and after a couple of drinks they are singing and dancing along.

“I don’t think there is a venue in town where you will have people in their teens and early 20s dancing alongside people in their 30s, 40s and 50s.

"It is a chance for them to all come along and party together whatever age.”

Gazette:

The venue will offer Seventies, Eighties, Nineties nights.

There will also be a students night on Thursdays and a Ladies Night on Sundays.

The venue will have a retro sweet shop, novelty cocktails and a big video screen.
