We used to rehearse downstairs in the back room which was where all the boilers and electrics were, there was an old cold storage area bit like a big cupboard three times the size of a transit van, which had a door on it, we used to rehearse in there sometimes because it deadened the sound!
Does anyone remember the guy who ran it; Richie, I forget his surname, I heard a rumour he got in trouble with the law for something unsavoury in the early 80's! Does anyone know what happened?
