How it began

The Crystal Ballroom

The Crystal Ballroom is located in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire. It became the place to go in the sixties and was renowned for a fantastic night out with a terrific mix of live and disco music in a superb social environment

The atmosphere was always electric - It was one of the friendliest places in the United Kingdom - It was well run, well organised and well liked

There are stories to tell of this remarkable place

This 'Blog' has been created so that any interested parties can read, and perhaps contribute to, some of the stories from some of the people that have an interest in the 'Crystal' (we have to populate the site first, so please be patient)

The building still exists, although now empty and perhaps wondering what the future holds

There are those out there with a genuine interest in resurrecting the site and bringing the building back to life with the 'sounds of music'

Will it happen - The truth is we don't know - What we do know is the people concerned are dedicated and will do everything in their power to regenerate this place for the benefit of music lovers

Please watch as the site grows and feel free to add your comments on any aspect - we hope you will enjoy and maybe add to the experience
