Very confusing. Any explanations?

Thanks for the advice. You're welcome ... ...

First gig I ever snuck into - climbed up those wooden posts holding the balcony up. God knows why because I had a ticket...queues PAH

ooops perhaps I should say where it is. Nottingham Boat Club and it's the ONLY picture I could find. Colour film HAD been invented

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.

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...


The Banshee, Manchester



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.

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