FORGET next week's solar eclipse, the owners of East Lancashire's newest dance bar are hoping for a blinding success of their own.

And Burnley Football Club's Stan Ternent was on hand to give his support when Eclipse officially opened in Coal Street, Burnley, last night.

The team behind the bar are former Ibiza DJ Adam Korol, winner of DJ of the year at the town's Angels nightclub in 1997, and his pal Jason May.

Adam, 20, of Chatburn Park Drive, Brierfield, said: "The bar was previously a social club but has been left standing empty for years and it has taken us about three months to knock it into shape. We've redecorated, everything, and it's cost us thousands of pounds. "Eclipse will be a dance music bar because Burnley hasn't got anything like that at the moment."

Jason, 28, of Hillside, Burnley, will join Adam tonight when the bar opens for business between 8pm and 11pm.
