Slightly before my time but still being talked about when I started going in less than complimentary terms. Was it in a bus garage or something ?

I was 14 and not allowed to go  by my Mum and Dad. A few if the older Widnes lads went. I had to wait until I was 16 before I managed a nighter at the Casino.  Never looked back.

Was there with my brother it was an old tram/bus depot as was already stated it was a shithole dusty concrete floors, cold toilets were worse than Wigan’s, don’t know how many were there but didn’t seem like 6000 also most of the acts advertised never showed. Possibly the worst nighter I ever attended.

I remember (well partly) going to one 'do' there. Before it started I spent a few hours in the Dragonara Hotel with Chris Burton,  Keith Minshull and the group - trouble is, I can't remember who they were. Think they were an all girl group.

Can anyone fill in the gaps in my memory?😄

Leeds Queens Hall was the one I was referring to, over 7000 capacity according to the flyer...

 

 

There were two all-nighters held at the Queens Hall, Leeds, as stated is was a huge old tram shed.   Went to both, didn't learn from the first hoping second would have been sorted, it wasn't it was just as bad.

I went with some mates. What a dump. As said concrete floor in like an old bus depot. 

If I remember right , it still seemed empty in parts , depended where you were in the building , probably one of the crapest nights of my life 😂👍
