The 1950s Rivoli Ballroom, with its sprung wooden floors and satin interior, plays host to TV shows (Strictly Come Dancing, chat shows), music videos (Tina Turner's Private Dancer for one), occasional concerts (like the much feted White Stripes gig a few years back) and various music and fashion shoots.
