I’m sure they it was probably a shitshow behind the scenes, in business or financial terms, whatever… but the Sands club in Gainsborough was actually good while it lasted – not half-arsed, at least not on the occasions I visited for dinner / dance / cabaret style evenings in a post-Sinatra / wannabe Goodfellas style.
I went to a couple of jazz gigs there and whilst it was great to have that sort of thing in Gainsborough, I was never that impressed with the venue.
Was it a success? I don’t seem to remember it lasting too long but did he close it to move it to Blackpool, or were they separate things?
