Live: Davie Jones and the Manish Boys, Invicta Ballroom, Chatham

Davie Jones and the Manish Boys performed at the Invicta Ballroom on the High Street in Chatham, Kent, on 21 September 1964.

The venue was a cinema until 1939, after which it was used by the Church Army during World War Two.

In the post-war years it became a warehouse and indoor market, before being renovated as an entertainment venue. It reopened in 1962 and hosted music events, ballroom dancing, wrestling, and bingo. It became a bingo hall until 1985, and was demolished two years later.
