Was my local fav gig place in the 80's before it shut. Saw loads of ace bands there. Godflesh, Head Of David, Napalm Death, The Membranes, Pussy Galore, Gay Bykers, Swans, to name but a few. It's a restaurant now with a tidy looking bull outside.

I think that's where I saw Napalm Death, many moons ago.

That's what I thought. Surprising amount as support act too, even when they were relatively well known.
