Quote ="JINJER"The sound has been bad both times I've been there recently, both The Cribs and the Damned sounded poor.
Saw plenty of bands there in the 70's
Boomtown rats
The Skids
The Damned
The Ruts
Human league
The Beat
Iron Maiden
The Tourists
The Only ones
Penetration.
The good old days!'"
I was at most of those and also UB40 & Specials & Grupo Sportivo
Getting back to Strangeways I grew up living next door to fellow band member Bob Marsden and Baz Snaith lived at the end of the street. Was chatting to Bob re pretenders just the other week. Pretenders played support to Strangeways !! I also remember dashing home from school to see Strangeways on the kids tv programme Get It Together. Other local bands of the time were Tradition and Stranger Than Fiction
