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..

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 ![ROCKS k020.gif](images/smilies//k020.gif)

Good effort Paul, i just google mapped the Princeville and i can say with almost certainty that wasnt the place unfortunately...the mystery still continues, the place i saw limelight was a pub and from what i can remember was in the middle of an estate..the pub had a nightclub type venue attatched at the side and had a very low ceiling..it was a long hall type room...anyone know where gatsbys was ? according to their website they played there the same year..

| IIRC Gatsbys is still there albeit a bombed-out shell halfway down the road connecting Westgate and Manningham Lane (Hamm Strasse?) on the right. It wasn't like you describe either. The only pubs I can think like that would be some gaff up in Thornton (Steelers?) or The Tyke up Thornton Road which was called summat else back then. Other than that you're on your own! You may have your wires crossed as the description fits The Princeville to a tee.

Hmmm
Middle of estate rings a bell for me. There was a short-lived venue on the Bell Dean Estate in Allerton that fits that description. I can't remember the name of it to be honest, but I remember going there. I've a feeling it was a WMC rather than a pub - might have been called The Belldean Club - or perhaps it was the Bell Dean pub??
But it was right in the middle of the estate, a real rough hole frankly. They had bands on there for a few months in the late 70s.
Ring any bells ![USTUPID icon_stupid.gif](images/smilies//icon_stupid.gif)

| Well got a bit further... this nostalgia trip needs to stop...
Talked to a guy yesterday that actually said he was at the same gig but...as he was 17 at the time he can only remember going up thornton road and turning up old road, or old lane ?? the guy who was driving told him to watch out for the turning into old road or lane thats how he remembered.. could be a red herring but you guys have mentioned that area quite a few times....
