"I was at The Palace in Blackpool when Kylie Minogue was on Hit Man and Her - she came in on a trapeze!"

The Palace boomed for two decades and people came from miles around to be there. With a hefty price tag of £2.2m, the club opened in 1986 and was the largest in the North West. With a capacity of 3,000, an incredible lights system and the fact that everyone else was there, it had unrivalled status.

It was a great night! Light show….” Laura Giles remembered: “Getting down those awful stairs safely after a skinful now that was a challenge and a half!!
