seem to be getting a few decent concerts on
Dave Stewart

Can remember when pop concerts were banned from the Empire after some fans ripped the seats out may have been Motörhead or Boomtown Rats?

I haven’t been to a theatre in this country yet which has enough legroom for a 6ft 3in lad. Makes the night uncomfortable like.

They get some good gigs the empire like, fair play

There’s a few seats I found round the sides which have plenty leg room pal.

I bet every punk in the town claimed to have been there when in fact they'll have been hiding in their bedrooms playing with har gel and safety pins
Punk was the shittiest music phase there was

I wouldn't really class the Rats as punk, good band like all the same.

Empire's inside is beautiful though. Don't care about comparisons (since I'm not from Sunderland).
