The Top Spot Ballroom, Ross-on-Wye

Did you ever go to this venue? We know it wasn't very big, and we've been told:

"It was a tiny little club"

Stan Tippins, Mott The Hoople original vocalist, and later, the bands tour manager, says:

"I remember it being just a nice shaped club - it was a club you went into and felt comfortable - it was clean."
