I was resident Saturday night drummer at the Carstairs Club for about 6 months after the Teenbeats packed up. It was a really strange place to play. The entrance took you straight into the bar area but there was another room where the music was played. Both rooms were very small and there was hardly any seating in the music room. This meant that everyone stayed in the bar unless they wanted to dance, when they would pop into the music room. Because of this, you played about half the night to no-one. I played there with Derek Huson (spelling?) on piano and the guy on string bass, who used to play with Robin Grace and Bill Muir at the Glenpark Club. I can't remember his name. Although it was very small, the club attracted a very nice clientel and it was always a pleasant place to play. The main trouble was parking and getting the drums in and out of the place. Talking of Billy Edge, BlackdogMick, he played at my engagement party at the old Chessman club in Ainsdale and I also booked him to play in a trio at my wedding reception at the Queens Hotel. We had Dave Yarwood on bass (sadly deceased) and Bill Moreton on drums, who I believe is now in very poor health.

Happy days.

Trying to find any info / photos/ videos of Don Gee ,
If you have any information at all I would be very grateful

....and another one was on or just off Lord Street and was run by the mum of George who had to be the campest piano player in Southport.

It was the Embassy Club run by Annie Greenhalgh, situated at the rear of the former Glenpark Building on Hoghton Street, the front section being the then Southport Amateurs FC social club.
