Gosh, I remember seeing dozens of bands back in the early 80s at this club. The first show I ever saw was Adam & the Ants back in 1981.

What a great place that was. Saw quite a few shows there. I especially remember seeing Peter Murphy there. There was this guy up in the balcony that everyone swore was Robert Smith. I remember all the girls going "Oh my God, Robert is here" Of course
