Club Tromolo is the brainchild of Me, Frank Percy, OBE - former secretary of the Macclesfield Angry Working Men’s Club. On finding my beloved club accidentally demolished by the council and myself involuntarily relocated to Scotland, I decided to inject into Glasgow some of the spirit of glamour, variety and animal cruelty for which Macclesfield is so rightly famous.
And so Tromolo (named after my lovely wife Doreen’s favourite wind instrument, fact-fans) was born.
In its short life in Glasgow, Tromolo has witnessed the UK debut of Internationally Renowned French Performance Group ‘Cirque Des Twattes’; seen exclusive DJ sets from the likes of HRH Queen Victoria and David Blunkett; helped launch the career of Glasgow art-rockers, ‘The Spunky Fellowes’.
Not only that; Tromolo also provides a platform for such misfits as Ralph ‘Heartache’ - Albania’s top TV chef and self-proclaimed ‘art bastard’; Sir Clifton Sainsbury,a broadcasting legend famous throughout Cleethorpes; Kozmik Colin - Dry Blackthorn Man Of The Year 1976.
Who I'd like to meet: Walter Higgenbotham, former financial director of Macclesfield Working Men's Club and despicable lying bastard (owes me 40 pounds)
