What in the actual fuck

Clean your ears out, we actually said 'We all rip you for being like a cunt'.

I believe the late great Johnny Cash should have the final word;

I noticed (peripherally) that Wet Leg got an award at the Brits. If so, they're one of the few non-manufactured bands to have risen to the heady heights of awards ceremonies without being fluff-tastic.

Their album went to number one but Chaise Longue peaked at number 75 in the singles so they don't have the mass market.

Having listened to everything I can find of them over the past week, they're spectacular. Only the second album I've listened to start to finish since Jagged Little Pill.

See, your are all still talking about Sam.
It worked ...

That's not setting the bar awfully high, is it!

That explains the suit! Poor sod...

You are spot on about bradford yorick. That pub at the start of maningham lane used to host some cracking bands. Saw stan Webb’s chicken shack there.

Queens hall both upstairs and downstairs . St. George’s hall. The battle of the bands every year.

Some local bands in my time were....white hot n blue....Jed’s blues band.....those gorgeous wham boys.....Gary Whitfield’s big secret army. The frog n toad rock disco up by the ice rink

And many more

Was Queen's Hall the place that used to be Margaret Macs Student Union building? (Saw Chickenshack there, inc Christine Perfect - and Hawkwind at the St Georges).

[Wscad]

Queens hall was up near the old Windsor baths if you can remember . You are not too far out with the location

I think the baths were round the corner on Morley St iirc. (They were still baths when I was there I think). If memory serves correctly they almost backed into each other. At the bottom of Morley St was a record shop and I bought some posters. I said I had a lot of walls to cover and the guy scooted out and came back with an armful of cinema posters - including 2, unfolded, Clockwork Orange posters. I sold one of them at auction a couple of years ago.

Oh...clubs. Gatta Bianca.

For some reason i always thought St George's Hall was Queens hall. Drugs were cheap in Bradford For some reason also the pub across the road i remember it as Queens arms. Was it ever the arms or just always Queens?

If it was the (very) ugly looking place by the station and not far from St George's, I think it was originally The Queen.

Oh I remember the Norfolk Gardens...had a casino on the level of the Town Hall iirc. It's now The Bradford (4*). Never stayed there but did stay at the nearby Great Victoria on one trip back there. That was what they call 'a bit tired'

[Felix]

Yeah i remember the Casino. Never went in as i know i would come out disappointed. Norfolk Gardens looked a bit tired even back in the 80's. I was there the year of the Valley Parade fire. We had an old Irish woman who used to threated to slit your throat if you fucked about with her dish washer. How we used to laugh at poor old Norah but the police marched in one day and frog marched her out the door never to bee seen again. Rumours ranged from IRA to Drug dealer but the poor old burd probably just never came back with stress.

We might have met!

(I was at Valley Parade for the previous home match before the fire - used to live a short walk away).

Nah i am to young My step Brother was at the match. Other side from the fire so gout out safe and early. We may have been in the same boozer at times. We drank in any pub that had live music and if the band was shite it was back up to an old grotty club what was run by the local Slaves. Dont remember its name or street just remember it being behind one of the first Morrisons. We lived on the corner of Lumb Lane and Marlborough road. There was a pub down Lumb Lane that every dodgy drug dealer must have been in so always got a cheap bit smoke. Few good Reggae clubs round the Manningham Land area heading back town. Other direction we went to a few good outdoor Asian and African mini festivals in Lister Park. The place was a dump but i did enjoy the probably 18 month i was there.

Unless you remember the handsome bastard on the left then we never met This picture was taken in some shopping mall close to Hall Ings

Thinking about it, the trip to Valley Parade in 85 must have been on one of the visits back there, by then we'd moved on to Newcastle. The legendary/infamous place for the keen herbalist on Lumb Lane when I lived there was the Blue Moon Café. We were down the hill from the Spotted Dog, the other side of the park but had lived in Queensbury before that.

Had a few good years though.
