THE revival of an underground club from the 1960s is back by popular demand after its initial comeback proved successful.

Sunbridgewells will again bring back The Little Fat Black Pussy Cat Club, which was open between 1964 and 1965, for an event after rolling back the years for an initial one-off.

The throwback event, held at the underground venue’s Wallers Brewery in October last year, attracted 250 people who danced to hits from the 1960s.

The event saw DJs, Franny O’Brien and Paul Welsby, play vinyl records from the decade including R&B, beat, mod, motown and ska.

The next revival night of the club will be held on Sunday, March 4, between 2.30pm and 9pm. Free entry.

Graham Hall, of Yeadon-based developer Sunbridgewells, said the first revival night proved to be a smash hit with revellers.

He said: “The revival night was one of the best Sundays we have had since we opened.

“It is back by popular demand, everyone has been asking about it.

“It was a great atmosphere for the event we had in October and everybody had a good time.

“We will look to do a lot more of them in the future, if it is successful. We will have to see how this one goes.

“You need to be 70 and over to remember the original club, but people who came along brought their younger family members to last October’s event. If it is successful, we will look to do it every few months.

“We can’t do it too much, as it is better to be something for people to look forward to.”

Mr O’Brien, who will return for March’s event, said: “It is fantastic that it is coming back. I am really looking forward to it.

“All of the music will be played on vinyl. None of the music on the day will go beyond 1965, when the club stopped.

“I’m sure it is going to be a monster. We will have them dancing on the ceiling. The first one was an absolute knock-out.

“There is a big resurgence in this type of 60s music.”

The original The Little Fat Black Pussy Cat Club opened its doors at the site on August 14, 1964, with a performance by The Pretty Things.

It was Bradford’s first independently-run music club and was named after a San Francisco poetry club.

The club opened every Friday and Saturday night and acts which played the venue included Long John Baldry, Zoot Money and Georgie Fame.

After playing at the club, Preston-based band The Mood changed its name to The Little Fat Black Pussycats, in honour of the venue.

The Moody Blues played at the club on October 31, 1964, and were paid £55, which was seen as a lot of money at the time.

But the club only lasted for nine months following police concerns over potential drug problems and the size of the crowds.
