What people wrote about nights here
A guest for Bryan Ferry · Thu, 14 May 2015
This exceeded our expectations and I even shared the experience with my secondary school students who struggled to believe Bryan is still performing and he's older than their grand parents who do very little in comparison. :)
A guest for Sam Bailey · Thu, 29 Jan 2015

A guest for The Cramps · Fri, 23 May 1986
The best gig I've ever been to!
A guest for Buzzcocks · Mon, 02 Oct 1978
I was 16 --- met my first ever proper girlfriend at this concert.
Those were the days when you could stand & get up close, with a pint in one hand & a ciggy in the other.
Great band & great songs --- full of energy & good to pogo to.
De Montfort was great place to see bands - floor sloped & plenty of space. Can't remember who supported, but my friend has suggested might have been Joy Division !!!A guest for The Damned · Mon, 28 Nov 1977
Awesome gig. The Dead Boys as support. The band and the audience were exchanging spit and beer. It was like being in a riot in the mosh pit. The local paper the next day carried the headline 'PUNK ROCK SHOCKER: DEMAND FOR INQUIRY'. You can't buy publicity like that.
A guest for Leonard Cohen · Thu, 13 May 1976
I was 19 years old. I still remember the concert sooo well. Got home VERT late because of all the encores ;)
Five questions about the building, not the gig

Five taps - the place itself, then the sound, the sightlines, getting in and out and what the bar charges - and this page starts telling people what De Montfort Hall is actually like to stand in. There's room to write about it as well - one entry each, added to over the years.
