A guest for Belinda Carlisle · Fri, 19 May 1995
I was there with my house share friend Richard. Very good memories of the concert which was well attended. Happy days! Gary Palmer Law and Politics 1994 - 1997
A guest for Boomtown Rats · Thu, 13 May 1982
I was there along with my best mate Dude who has since died, and Bill. Dude and I were at the Fine Art of Surfacing gig at Trentham Gardens back in The Rats heyday of 1989 along with Matt who has also since died. Bob, if you ever read this, you were a great influence and inspiration to get out of the Rat Trap stalking our young lives at the time.
A small, intimate gig we were able to interact with the band - a brilliant concert! I remember asking Bob to play Joey's on the street. He refused and starred at me saying "No" we ended up staring each other out a which point the riff started. My favorite track!! Great memories and I have Bob's plus I think 3 otherband member's autographs on a scrap of paper which I must dig out of the loft. The next day, I made an excuse and got out of work at Keele Uni to get the promo poster from Mike Lloyd Music in Newcastle. Still in the loft!!
The Rats - my all time favorite band! But we bin caught......................A guest for Thin Lizzy · Tue, 03 Apr 1979
I was there that night. Seems ages ago now. I can remember pop-punk band Vipers being booed off and having several objects thrown at them!
Lizzy were awesome and Lynott a true star.A guest for Thin Lizzy · Tue, 03 Apr 1979
I was 15 and I had to plead with my Dad to let me go, it was fantastic, I had a mega crush on Phil lynott after that
A guest for Pink Floyd · Sat, 14 Feb 1970
The sound was a phenomenal wall of sound unlike anything I ever heard before or since . Kings hall was a relatively small Venue by today’s standards and the Floyd magical sound just blew you away. A truly unique gifted band a great treat for a high schooler like me to see. I saw them again many years later in Madison Square Gardens. I think I’ll give the nod to the Kings Hall performance. Well I was just a kid then.

A guest 100% for Belinda Carlisle · Fri, 19 May 1995
I was right at the front, could have touched her toes! One of the best concerts ever. I remember the excitement when she was announced, wasn't expecting it as a 2nd year student at the uni and a massive Belinda fan. Superb concert.
