I remember thinking that this was the kind of place Id hoped to find in Manchester and it had been up in Aberdeen all along, I just hadn't realised! I can remember the singer Ruaraidh was on ace form giving a big rant about Nestle drilling monkey's teeth and then throwing a wee Dairy Milk or something on the floor for everyone to stamp on, and show their disgust! Class. Pretty sure he set off the fire alarm that night too!?

That would have been the setting light to the American flag, albeit a very small one. And yeah, Oi Polloi are an amazing outfit. Still great after all these years. Would be so cool seeing them play here again after such a long absence.

oh my.
The Last Ever Night in the Castlegate: mayhem. men, best friends and old pyschology teachers, chairs, and dark moments.
Going in to see the new drakes being painted all purple, and watch it coming together.
Charity Gig with the glorious 44s, who had a ravishing evening with some of my friends and afterwards i woke up covered in MEW drawings after meeting nick and neil for the first time.
and the staff. that man nicky casino. bogart, love and velvet.
