PENTHOUSE MEMORIES
Description:... Graham Armitage was born in Scarborough, grew up in Scarboroughand, as he says, "(Mis)spentmy youth and teenage years in the town."A fair amount of those teenage years were taken up in attending a night club called the Penthouse which graced St Nicholas Street in the centre of the town for around ten years - mainly during the 1970s.For Grahamand for many others of that era, the club represented not merely somewhere to go at the weekend, but also an attitude of mind and a way of life . This, as well as enabling him and many others to attend an excellent club which punched well above its weight by regularly putting on some of the best rock and folk music to be found anywhere in the country at that time. In fact, many bands of those days were spotted elsewhere and were asked to play at the Penthouse when they were growing and many then went on to much greater fame, country, and in some cases, world-wide.
