The album has captures 92 pictures from 1984 through to 1990 and it has now been shared nearly 500 times. Andy had been going to the club since 1982 when in 1984 he decided he wanted to capture the clubs authenticity on camera for future generations.
“There’s some really stunning characters, they’re very pantomime characters and I just thought it would be nice if I shared these so they’re not just stuck in a cupboard forever.
