old 1980's version:

1: hallamshire

2: limit

3: frechville community school for hosting the fuck city shitters in 1987 at their jumble sale

4: duke street trades and labour club, as above

5: some of the cheaper clubs at the university when they used to let unemployed layabouts in for 50p :)

That bar downstairs at Sheffield Uni Students Union was alright as well. Leadmill was the best though back then IMO.

great venue though

happy days :)

....then there was the cavern, run by a coupla guys from the happening men (weren't they something to do with the dylans and crispin hunt's early bands?)

this was open in 1987/8 under the arches on commercial street, near ponds forge :)

that was me!

i still have the spray-paint on my fingers to prove it! i was the thick drummer.

although i did indeed put "fuck city shitters" not "shit city fuckers", but it was on a diagonal slope and you may have read it wrong...

tragically the council demolished that wall years ago. typical of their treatment of sheffield's rock 'n' roll history.... :x
