Three Coins / Staxx Club, Fountain Street

Staxx Club, Fountain Street. (c) http://manchestersoul.co.uk/msoul/stax_club.html.

This venue was run by a couple of Manchester legends.  Firstly, Jimmy Saville opened the Three Coins but the R&B and soul club wasn't a success [1].  A few years later, Roger Eagle, he of Twisted Wheel fame, re-opened it as the Staxx Club but again, it flopped, this time as a funk club [2].
