Jillys Rockworld This is the worse news I have will ever have to impart here. It is with the heaviest of heart that I must tell you all that Jilly’s Rockworld has finally closed its doors for the last time. As of now we are no longer. The recession has another victim. A great club and an institution in Manchester for many many years is now only history.

More here and here. Manchester Confidential has more on the story.

Bugger. I know I only went there two or three times a year and it wasn’t as good as it used to be, but it was an institution and I shall miss it.
