Irreplaceable' Lancashire pub disco saw customers 'queue down the street' to get in

A lost Lancashire pub disco which saw customers 'queue down the street' to get in is still "irreplaceable" to those who went there.

He told Lancs Live: "It just sort of exploded at The Hop. You would never find a pub as busy, packed to the rafters, seven nights a week - without any exaggeration that was what it was like. "People met their husbands and wives in The Hop. I can vouch for that because I picked up mobile work from people who met and had engagements and marriages because they wanted a DJ, The Hop DJ. When I wasn't working at the hop on a Saturday night I was doing one of the customers functions in another venue somewhere."But what Pat said he loved about The Hop the most was "the people.

Pat stayed at The Hop on and off for around 15 years, before DJ Chris Byrne became resident there. Pat said it was Chris and his talent that "kept it going for so long." Chris Byrne, 63, from Burnley, told Lancs Live: " I first started going to the hop in the early eighties, me and my friends would go every night every weekend.

Chris said that in the mid-eighties the business changed direction and the brewery changed its name to The Bitter End. It later became an Irish themed bar, called Kitty O Sheas and back to The "New" Hop.
