And he loved the people as well no doubt!
@Kevsgreat and I had a chat with the drummer when he was up, we reckon that's what pushed him to come back with the band. Well in our heads anyway

I’m at a party there tonight, haven been since the top flight Time Machine life show a fair few years back, it was virtually derelict then so hope it’s has some work done since then!
I don't think I've noticed any changes in the times I've visited. It is very "bare", but that adds to its charm.
That’s the beauty of a gig venue. You don’t need decoration. It’s been built functionally for bands to play gigs, but is all bare brick & a modest bar in the corner. Sound system will be good.
Just done the same. I was drinking their beer for nowt as a bit of an interloper last night so feel I should pay it back.

Just seems an odd place for a lass from shields to have a 40th birthday party!

Class that. Fair play to them. And you, sounds like a top night was had.
Fair play to him if he found anywhere like
, not a lot going on round that way late on a Thursday. It was good to see the Bridge Hotel Vaults busy before the gig but I felt for the barman, put a canny shift in on his todd.
It is like! Is she having a band?
It’s a great venue for gigs or club nights. For a 40th, you’d have thought there’d be a few older people there & they’d want some seating. Think all they’ve got a school bench type things.
Even odder she’s coming from Shields. I love the place, but a family party isn’t ideal unless she’s booked a band to play. I love the bar, but there’s not a load of choice & it tends to be based around craft beer. Uncle Gary who drinks Worthies in the club on a Sunday might be disappointed

Irked play Pop Recs on 9th June. They have their album out today which is very good. Should be a lively night.

Cheers mate, thank you.
He did really well. Actually came over and asked my mate if his Black Wave was OK, I had a sip and it wasn't, he replaced it.
Disappointed with the guest beers in there mind, wonder if they struggle to sell non Vaux stuff. Elephant Rock has a better selection when I've been in.
You wouldn’t be saying that if he broke your SAS action man helicopter. He never said sorry either.
If that's a euphemism for something I'm not sure i want to know more...
To be fair, if he broke it, it had nee chance in combat with GI Joe’s army. Think of the lives saved by his stress testing.
For the first time in there on Thursday I just went straight for the Wise Men Say and didn't even look at the real ales. I'm always just a little bit disappointed with the Vaux real ales. Nothing wrong with them but I wouldn't choose them in a line up.

No pies with your pints?
I did the £10 one when they started . Got very little feedback and the gift eventually was a weird image printed by a computer in a standard envelope so the post man had folded it . Very odd .

I felt like I was the oldest person in here tonight. Really enjoyed the Artic Monkeys tribute.
Lots of young un’s who were no bother in the gig but absolutely out of it.
Lent a few young un’s outside my phone as they had ran out of batteries and needed lifts home.
Be some canny hangovers in the morning.

Cracking gig I enjoyed both bands.
A load of young people there from South Shields possibly because the lead singer of Fountains CD was from South Shields.
I think I was probably the oldest there
