Hawthorns had already been a fixture on the Bolton club scene for many years before it was refurbished and reopened as Club IndieGo in 2003.
The club was located on Spa Road in a former grain store and had first opened as a restaurant called Crompton's Mule in 1978 before becoming a piano bar called Hawthorns in 1984.
Hawthorns was already operating as a nightclub when new owners took over in 1993. Under the new management the club started to specialise in rock and indie music with live bands playing most nights in was open.
The end for Club IndieGo came in 2006, when part of a neighbouring building collapsed forcing the club to close. The night club never reopened and the building was finally demolished in 2011.
