Venues you love and remember...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Saw way too many bands to mention there, in my gig going heyday of 1988-94.

Once found myself all of a fluster when I saw a certain Mr Hussey at a Drug Free America gig there, in early 88. Didn't dare approach the great man......just bathed in the holy glow of his presence from a distance instead. :lol: :von:

My all time favourite venue was the Manchester Banshee. More of a night club than gig venue but they did put gigs on and I've seen several very dodgy early 90s goffix bands play there...

Other good venues in Manc included The International 1 & 2 (saw Christian Death at the int.2 in 1991/1992), and the Boardwalk (saw Rosetta, Cop shoot cop, and loads of other bands there)

Can't believe that I didn't go to that one myself but I've seen them twice this year already & was struggling to get any of my regular gig going buddies to come with me. Busy time of the year and all that. :(
Give me one good reason

Not been since they've moved it around inside. Is it STILL the hottest (as in sweatbox) venue in the world?
