Report - The M Club, Crewe - May 2016

[BrainL]

The Explore
Usual very early morning weekend exploring took us to Crewe and this disused nightclub/music venue/cinema type place.. not a bad explore but a pain to light the place up as no natural light at all in any rooms

The History
Not lots of history on the place other than this website that doesn't allow copy and paste so thought I'd leave the link here if anyone is interested. The venue had a capacity of up to 1000 people, with two large licenced bars.

That is a Soundcraft sound desk which would go for a lot of money if sold surprised they left it!

Great photos, thanks!

The four storey building on the left (still standing) was a great live rock music venue at one time - I'm thinking 70s. It had many names over the years but I remember it best as the Dirty Duck.

There is a metal bar gate on the right of the four storey building to the left of where the M Club was (between the red and blue bins in the first photo on this page) which was the entrance to a corridor that led downstairs to what used to be called, among other names, 'The Cellar Bar' where the bands were. I had some brilliant nights down there and sometimes wonder if there is anything at all left, which I very much doubt. I drove past a while ago out of curiosity and thought how sad it looked.
