High Peak TV were at The Globe in Glossop last Friday night, to hear Cheryl Spilsbury creating a night of Hacienda filled music, fun and dance.

The evening was organised to raise funds for The Hangout Club, who's future hangs in the balance after the Community Centre they call home is set to be closed by Derbyshire County Council at the end of June.

Campaigners for Gamesley Community Centre have already managed to secure a three month extension to the closure notice, which was originally set for the end of March - only six weeks after the decision to close the building was announced.

But the residents of Gamesley are still optimistic they can save their centre. A group of community group leaders has been established and they are to trying to work together, with the council, to buy the building and keep it open for community use.

We spoke to George Street Community Bookshop owner Steve Roberts, who opened the show with some original songs on acoustic guitar before Cheryl Spilsbury took over to DJ the rest of the evening with a selection of 90's dance anthems.

Steve told us he was supporting the campaign because it's important for the community to have a place to get together and "just be friends with each other" and to have a space that's "not purely somewhere you go to buy something, somewhere that's just good for the community."

We also spoke to Cheryl, who told us that Gamesley was "like a derelict estate. You're watching things go one at a time - basically we've only got the community centre left."
