More than sure that's The Roadhouse.A few fave venues over the years, as mentioned above The Star & Garter,Night & Day Café, Band On The Wall, The Ritz and The Wychwood in Ashton Under Lyne.
Worst has to be Academy 1 next door to Manchester Uni and Manchester Apollo before they had removable seats downstairs.



I just checked which venue it was and it is actually the Ruby Lounge.

Sounds a lot like the old Gallery from the mid 80's which was round the corner from Tommy ducks.

Is the Gallery still there? I remember seeing Flux of pink Indians there during the miners strike benefit tour, and also remember The English dogs playing there to name a few. Great venue and great times. Jillys was also a great venue all them years ago. And not forgetting the Mayflower. Manchester has had and still got some great little venues.

Gallery is shut as far as I`m aware not seen it on any gig guides for quite some time. Saw the Dammed at the Mayflower. The gig had been moved from Manchester Poly for whatever reason .

Saw GBH Vice Squad Bllitz etc at The Mayflower, a great venue i bet The Damned would have sounded really good in there. Ah the Poly another great venue, oh and another cracking venue was Drifters, christ you Manchester lot were are a bunch of jammy bar stewards. :lol:

I think I'm going to the Barbican in London in the summer. Has anyone been before? It looks different to the norm so was just curious.
