A FORMER nightclub was damaged after a fire broke out in the middle of the night. 

Emergency services were called to the blaze in Commercial Street, Darlington, at about midnight last night. 

Crews were on the scene until about 4.30am. 

The venue has gone through many name changes over the years, including the Plastered Parrot,  Mr Bojangles, Cactus Jacks, Zhivagos, The Lounge, and Buffalo Joe’s.

Its most recent guise was Audio, having been reopened in 2010 but has been closed for some time.
