Despite its limited capacity of only 132, The Front Page became well established on the circuit of northern live music venues and attracted artists from all over Britain and live music fans from a wide area of northern England and southern Scotland. Mungall left the club in 1986 to return to his former career as a ship’s officer. He died from a brain tumour in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA in 2010 aged 57. Lawson continued to run the club until Christmas 1988 when he returned to his career in television news. The club was sold to Stuart Murphy, but after a brief period of closure it reopened as Jackson’s, named after the new owner David Jackson. He revived The Front Page name and it continued as a music venue until final closure in 2004, a month short of the 20th anniversary of its opening. (en)
