Show Notes:
The Queen’s Ballroom was located in Cleveleys, a seaside town on the Fylde Coast near Blackpool in North West England. During the 1950s and 1960s, it operated as a popular dance hall and live music venue, at a time when seaside ballrooms were central to the UK touring circuit. Cleveleys served as a secondary but regular stop for beat and R&B acts performing across Blackpool and the wider Lancashire area. The ballroom has since been demolished.
