A social club will mark its 70th anniversary with a celebration of rock and roll.
The Railway Club has been a long-established part of the community since opening in October 1954 in Belmont near Dyke Road.
Now, the club is planning to celebrate the milestone with a return to the musical glory days.
Hove-based rock and roll band The Catfish Kings will play a 70th-birthday gig at the club on October 5.
Band leader Harry Lang said “The Railway Club is a staunch supporter of styles of music which might not be considered ‘mainstream’, like Northern Soul, Celtic roots music, Argentine Tango, jive and roll and roll. Smaller venues like The Railway are vital for keeping these grass roots genres alive and kicking.
“This will be a real celebration with lots of room to dance plus enough seating for the less-vigorously inclined to kick back and just enjoy the show.”
The Catfish Kings will play at The Railway Club on Saturday from 8pm. Tickets can be bought in advance or on the door.
