Heartland

Was watching a programme on ITV the other night about Eric's in Liverpool, when who should pop up but the very lovely Doreen!

Ah, The Planet! The toilets, the massive hole in the dance floor, the night That Guitarist gave all the drink away for free because Kenny let him run the bar after a m*****n gig.

Anyone else on here remember/frequent the place?

I remember working a Salvation gig there - we got stuck on the motorway coming up from the night before in London(I think) & we didn`t get there till after the advertised door opening time . The support band Playtime (very good ) had already soundchecked but we had to move all their stuff over & the gig part of the venue was an hour and a half late opening .
It was an excellent gig in the end , everyone was pissed & the band did some of their impromptu covers ,if I remember rightly it was their Christmas party gig - I think I still have some flyers for it somewhere . It was a twit having to pack all the stuff away whilst full of beer afterwards though. Did planet x maybe 3 times , I remember the gigs at Birkenhead stairways were always good too .

oh Jesus don't take me back there


used to drop in after gigs @ the royal court et al., before passing out and getting the boat back home next day

The one I was thinking about was Weds 23rd December 1987 . I remember at least one more date there on Thursday 3rd November 1988 when the gig was moved there due to the original venue the Bierkeller closing down .
