27 amazing Blackpool scenes inside The Galleon Bar - the people and music right back to the early days

It was reinvented in 2011 and moved to Abingdon Street where it holds onto its legacy of promoting music including jazz and blues and acting as a platform for talented musicians to perform throughout the week. These pictures dive into the past, back to the 90s with some great memories.
