Ruth travelled to Blackpool in order to appear on The One Show and add her opinion to a televised feature covering the history and the current state of clubs.
The present situation was described as; ‘One of the last bastions of British Social life is in decline, the good old working man's club.’
Clubs have been the springboard for some of our best known entertainers. One of them, Russell Watson, was asked to find out how they're adapting to life in the 21st century.
Russell visited the Blackpool Philarmonic Club where he had performed previously. He and Ruth discussed club history together with the rise and fall in popularity. Discussions revealed that the number of clubs in Blackool has fallen from 32 down to 15, following the national trend. More detail on the website.
If anyone managed to record the programme could you let us know please. Ruth would like a copy if possible.
