Batley Variety Club saw a lot of good live groups there .My favourite Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons .Cost 4 pounds for tickets .Had to make our mind up weather to go see them ,,or Tom Jones week after, could not afford both.Lived on a budget then but would not swap life was worth living

Saw some decent acts there but the best night was Billy Connolly, hilarious.

The Mecca, you must be an old git like me!
I saw Bill Haley and the Comets there, and Desmond Decker and the Israelites!

Mecca saw the Move there ,Who would have though Roy Wood go on to front Wizard , and Jeff Lynn would become E L O .Was lucky enough to see E L O in Manchester 2019 ,there concert was the best music act I have ever seen +a stunning Laser show

Normally saw bands at Sheffield oval Hall always mid week, so a run after the concert to catch the last train home, Bowie, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, 10cc, mott the hoople, Steve marriot, roxy music, who, and many more. Great days brilliant music mid week, trinity and a good pub crawl at the weekends and Friday night.

Do you want me to split this out Vasty or just keep it running as a music thread?

I'm sure they was also at a club house in normy

No it’s fine, not sure anybody knows the answer to the opening question anyway.

Well said Vasty....

Who remembers Wednesday nights at the Unity Hall in 1963/4. Saw Freddie & The Dreamers, Kinks, Gene Vincent, Screaming Lord Sutch, The Paramounts (later to become Procul Harem) there. The gigs were promoted by two "wide boys" from Sheffield viz: Geoff and PETER STRINGFELLOW. Not very likeable chaps I recall at the time. The Sex Pistols appeared in later years.

What's available night club wise in the city these days.
I have great memories of the Mecca, intercon, moonraker heppys and one at alverthorpe but can not remember the name.
The pubs of the time had great characters.
