The hidden history of the Nottingham nightclub that rocked the swinging 60s

When it comes to nightclubs, Nottingham has had its fair share of legendary spaces from - Rock City on Talbot Street to the Palais, now Pryzm, on Lower Parliament Street. Over the decades we have loved and lost many that have gone down as urban legends of their time including The Garage on St. James street and Astoria on Greyfriar Street.

However, one club, in particular, has gone down in local history for having some of rock and pop's best-known musicians grace its stage including Elton John, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder and Van Morrison.

The Dungeon Club on Stanford Street opened in 1964 and it became the place for Nottingham's teenagers to go to listen to new records or watch live bands perform. England was at the height of the mods and rockers subculture which saw many teenagers adopt one of the fashionable styles or the other.
