With nigh on four million members and thousands more waiting eagerly to join, the success of the Working Men's Club movement in 1970s Britain was staggering.
The Working Men's Clubs provided the testing ground for acts that went on to break into mainstream television and true stardom.
'New Faces', 'Opportunity Knocks' and 'Wheeltappers and Shunter Social Club' - which made stars of comics Bernard Manning and Colin Crompton - were reliant on the Working Men's Clubs for raw talent.
Cannon & Ball, Les Dawson and Little & Large all started in the clubs.
Peter Kay's 'Phoenix Nights' captured a Working Men's Club in decline - the Dirty Stop Out's Guide to Working Men's Clubs relives them in their prime.
It has already received major praise from clubland stars spanning the Grumbleweeds to Bernie Clifton.
Dr Ruth Cherrington- the country's foremost expert on the Working Men's Club movement - has called the Dirty Stop Out's Guide to Working Men's Clubs" one of the most accessible and affectionate records of the boom years of the movement ever written".
