I nearly stubbed my toe on the stairs! the queue's for the toilet were disgraceful! I may as well relieved myself in the cornerA guest on UB40 · Sat, 17 Jan 2015
Was disgusted with venue sure not going there again would rather go else where way to many people there and staff were clueless think the layout of the venue is not safe floors soaked crushing people to see and to get out worst money I've ever spent left early because of fights and only seen UB40 for couple songs UB40 and Astro were brill spoilt by greed

Great gig - Inspirals were excellent - The Blossoms were god and local band Zeitgeist 77 were superb.
A guest on Tricky · Sat, 23 Nov 1996
Was a mere 18 years old when we went to see the enigma that is Tricky.
Didn’t disappoint, the atmosphere was Teicky - esque.
A guest on The Damned · Tue, 17 Nov 1981
I was there…!!! Brilliant night!!! The anti nowhere league where supporting the dammed and really played it up, fighting with the crowd on stage and animal being a proper animal!!! I remember the bouncers using fire extinguishers to break up fighting, just blasted the protagonists and then using the extinguishers as clubs!! Also saw one once with a wooden cosh in his waistband. Mad times…. ????
