The former Orchid Ballroom in Hillfields, Coventry, undergoes a remarkable transformation once again, shedding its bingo hall identity to embrace its true calling as a vibrant music venue. Renamed Tic Toc, this iconic establishment holds a rich history within the local entertainment scene. In February 1990, TiCToC Entertainment Unlimited enterprise breathed new life into the venue. Since then, it has become synonymous with unforgettable live performances and electrifying musical experiences. The stage has witnessed legendary acts such as Squeeze, De La Soul, Fish (formerly of Marillion), and Julian Cope grace its hallowed grounds. This print captures the essence of Tic Toc's interior during its refurbishment phase in the early 1990s. Vibrant colors adorn the walls while anticipation lingers in the air. The stage stands ready to host countless nights of soul-stirring melodies and heart-pounding rhythms.

It serves as a poignant reminder of how venues like Tic Toc played an integral role in shaping our cultural landscape. Let us celebrate this cherished piece of history that continues to resonate through generations—where dreams were realized under dazzling lights and where music became more than just notes but rather an eternal connection between artist and audience.
