The Recreation Centre was close to The Majestic and was popular for newer/younger bands to perform preparatory gigs before going on to perform at The Majestic. As the Rec. Centre was not licensed the audiences were mainly under 18s, although many would take a pass-out and pop over to The Glue Pot, infamous for its very cheap, very alcoholic, rough cider!
