used to go to loads of gigs and see local bands, i love my music like my fishing it was a shame when they pulled the mayfair down and the riverside changed into something like a dance club, best band so far was lynyrd skynyrd up in glasgow in 2003 cos i thought i would never get to see them fantastic i never stoped grinning for days

i hope so alan cos there is no real decent venue for bands, the arena is crap and far to expensive and the staff, well what can i say 
. the opera house is ok though but not big enough

The Carling Academy is the old bingo hall at the end of Clayton Street opposite The Star pub ,however looking at the first few gigs it looks a bit \"young\" ,my oldest lad who\'s nearly 16 can\'t wait to get in the mosh pits lol, I think I might join him and get rid of some aggression LMFAO.
Knew one of the lads from XLR8TR. Marc Savage.....every lass I knew who either drunk in Trillians or Fat Sams or who hung around the green went a bit weak at the thought of him....I dunno why.....But hey ho.....
There was another band whose name escapes me at the minute but it had something to do with sponges and they were quite good, but the worst local band I had to have seen was one called Manslaughter (who drunk beer not water, the most memorable and shittest lines of a song ever) and the worst thing about it was my Physics teacher (Mr Newton) was in it and when they played Fat Sams I was sat there in absolute horror when he walked in cos I should not have been there only being 16 and all....
Dunno what was worse....seeing a teacher out of school and him drinking in the same pub as me or to have the teacher walk up to you and start chatting you up and knowing who I was...............hmm

not as often as I used to alan....used to be in every Friday night and Saturday from tea time onwards....specially after going to the green..... and we would all go to the mayfair (both nights) it was a right laugh.
If you ever see us in there give us a shove and say hello

aye the mayfair was a great place for bands and for a friday sat night but a lot of them nights i can\'t remember. but what i do remember is crying with laughing at some of the god awful sites on the dance floor (me being into punk at the time) i supose i looked no better myself. mind you these stange looking rockers used to pull every week and in all the years of going there only managed once and for a very short time. ah the good old days
cheers

its a shame all the good places have gone or changed names and stuff
here\'s just a few of my farvorites. the archer ( still there but i bet its not half as good), the haymarket, broken doll, the barley mow (newcasle side) market tavern, the one on the same street as the city hall but at the northumberland street end, now a posh place with lots of glass, the dog and parrot which changed its name then changed it back and its still a good pub. these were and some still are some of my favorites good crack good beer and decent music
