   Can anyomne remember what this venue was called before it was the Carling Academy. I’m sure I saw some great bands here… but the old grey matter is failing me – I can’t remember what it used to be called. We are talking about the venue at the bottom of Dale End, Upstairs, yes?

   Last gig I saw there was the Sex Pistols in June 2008. A totally awesome sweat-soaked night.

     And a few swift beers in the Hakuna Matata before the gigs, and sometimes afterwards if we had time
