A 1,500-capacity room on Whitworth Street West, and still 'the Ritz' to everyone in Manchester. Its sprung dance floor is the bit people remember — the whole room moves with a full house. Transvision Vamp were formed in Putney in 1986 by guitarist and primary songwriter Nick Christian Sayer and lead singer Wendy James, and spent the late 1980s as one of the loudest pop-rock propositions going — ten hits on the UK singles charts and considerable success in Australia, with James attracting media attention for a sexually charged, rebellious image.
