No, the Goldsborough is the one just a few yards further up from the Corn Dolly. I believe it shut recently? Something i don't think will ever happen to the brilliant Dolly!

I saw Def Leppard at Bradford Uni when they WERE a rock band. Unfortunately they became American and henceforth were crap!

PS Anyone remember Baby Tuckoo and Warlord?

Thanks guys, at least some of you got to see limelight at least...awesome band. ..the venue i saw them at will have to remain a mystery for now..but it was definately pub with a venue built on..really low ceiling in the concert hall which apparently played havoc with the accoustics..o well Happy days.

Sounds like the Princeville Club to me up near Ingleby Road.

Blimey I'll have to get this one, probably wait for the updated one in May.

On the name of the venue could it have been the Beehive ? I'm not sure when they had the extension built for the bands so I might be way out with dates!

Anyone else here Ex Wheatsheaf, Queens Hall/Celler Bar and Frog and Toad?

Some some "interesting" bands at the Queens Hall/Celler Bar - Gypsy Queen, Celtic Frost, Destruction, Lawnmower Deth!! Oh and Bradford's very own Spoilt Bratz who became Terrorvision.

Brings back some great memories.....

Went out for curry with Spoilt Bratz, as a friend was working as a music journalist at the time and I used to carry the camera. I now know the drummer in passing through mutual friends.

I liked Gypsy Queen in the way teenage boys do. Can't recall the music at all

Track listing off the 4 CD collection

The word eclectic springs to mind!

Many thanks to everyone who made suggestions on this one....after a bit more digging, i found a site dedicated to Limelight complete with past tour dates !!
Looks like i was a bit out with my guess at location but according to them they playes at 2 venues in Bradford that year... Princeville and Gatsbys..not sure i remeber if they were pub names or Areas but hey...were getting closer..

RIP Wild Willi

Hi smiffythebull

Do you have the address of the Limelight website please, brilliant band. saw them a few times at the Fforde Greene , Staging Post and Compton Arms in Leeds and at The Princeville in Bradford.
The two front guys were brothers if i recall.

I have one of the 7" they made with his ashes pressed into it - from the memorial tribute gig at the Beehive a couple of years ago.

About half way up Ingleby Road from Girlington traffic lights, turn left on Princeville Road. Go right to the far end (its a dead end) and the club is on the right hand side. At the time it was more or less in the middle of nowhere, but houses have been built all along there now.

The building itself is still there. I paid a nostalgic visit about a year ago when I was over that side of town, and it was boarded-up and looked pretty derelict. The basic building seemed intact and the concert room was on the back - still seemed to be more or less as it was.

If someone had a win on the lottery it could be bought, refurbished and re-opened. Now that would be an awesome trip into the 70s and 80s for people of a certain vintage
