Buckley Society is calling for local stories and memorabilia from the towns renowned Tivoli night club. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The society is holding an event as part of a local history project and wants to gathering together “the essence” of Buckley Tivoli for future generations  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Secretary of Buckley Society, Paul Davies told Deeside.com: ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“We are appealing for memorabilia and stories from anyone visiting the Tivoli particularly in the bye-gone decades since it became a night club in the 1960s. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

We are looking to record as much as we can about the Tivoli and events held there in recent decades.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

We’re asking for old tickets, flyers, photographs, autographs, anecdotes, memories of stars you met, fashions and examples of any clothing worn at gigs in the past.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Paul added: “It’s amazing how well the place is known for example the likes of the former Radio 2 Presenter from the 1980’ s David Hamilton gigged there as a DJ in his earlier career.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Other famous artists, not least Oasis have playes at the Tivoli. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

If anyone can assist, please come along to our informal, drop-in ‘Memories’ event at the Heritage Centre, Buckley Library on Saturday the 21st March.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Paul said there will be a team of people at the venue to meet those with stories to share and “all are welcome.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The event is part of a heritage Lottery funded package which includes the development of an app, a digital film of bygone Buckley, and an information sign for Buckley town centre. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Anyone with information or material of interest who can’t make the Memories’ event can email the society at bucksoc@uwclub.net   ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
