bedfore my time Trog, I lived in the Bay in the early 2000s ,me and mates use to go there as we'd get served, mate's band performed one of there first gigs there too.
Re The Talbot, I don't know. The last few times I've been past it has been closed. I used to go there a lot in the late Eighties on a Sunday night to see Baby Blue. Were you there or is that before your time?
I used to go to the Talbot to watch Baby Blue, it was a great venue in the past.
