Could it have been The Golsborough up Bolton Road? I saw some bands there in the '80s but I can't remember what the gaff was called at the time. I might be getting confused though!

| Apparently the follow up bringing things up to the present date will be out in May.
I can't wait to read about Tasmin Archer, Gareth Gates and the guy in the Mr Blobby costume.

No idea as I wasn't here at the time, but I saw Limelight several times in Donny in the 80's. Fantastic band, one of the best pub bands I saw. Was it them who did a brilliant cover of Love Sculpture's (Dave Edmunds) epic Sabre Dance?

| Regarding Limelight, yes it was them that always finished off their set with 'Sabre Dance'
I honestly can't think of any venue or even potential venue in Bolton Woods. I was very active in watching bands from that era and don't recall any venue anywhere near Bolton Woods. They were regulars at the Princeville, and played a few other venues around town - I remember seeing them once at that pub on Westgate (next door to the Boy and Barrell down the hill). And possibly at the Royal Standard. They probably also played the old Talk of the Town venue on Leeds Road.
Happy Days....

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.

| 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
