Rocking the night away at The Tache - with dad’s approval

Over the main door was the motto “Your father’s moustache don’t laugh, your daughter might be in here!”

The dance floor was painted as a Union Jack, and by 1988, Frenchy’s Night Club was upstairs – with its own door and stairs on the left of the building.

There was no connection with the nightclub of a different, but similarly-spelled name on Cherry Tree Road.

The venue’s last function was as The Tache Rock Club with Barney Rubble’s.

The Tache was temporarily closed by the Council in October 2008 and was bought by Blackpool Council in August 2011 to be demolished.

It closed on November 19 2011, and the club itself relocated to the Beat Nightclub above the Rose and Crown on Corporation Street.

I always felt safe in there to be fair and we all looked after each other, it was the end of an era when they knocked it down. It is now the new council builings and Sainbury’s.
