Artefact
After the Ranch Bar and the Electric Circus had closed down Rafters became the main place to see punk bands in Manchester. It was a disco situated under a cabaret club called Fagins on Oxford Road. This picture was taken in Feb 78 and you can see from the poster on the door who was around at the time:
Jan 26 Magazine
Feb 9 Ultravox
Feb 16 Sham 69
Feb 18 Yachts
Feb 23 The Boys
Mar 16 999
Mar 23 Wide
You can also see a poster for Martha Reeves and the Vandellas playing upstairs to the chicken in a basket crowd.
