It used to be Sunderland's finest venue for counter-culture stuff. Probably the only place in the town where you could rehearse, record and perform once upon a time. Might still be.

Few lasses used to go when I was in Thornhill about 97-98 and all they got was grief at school for going.

Long live The Bunker. Kenny is a top bloke.

The cafe next door is canny anarl.

Be good if we could support it more as a city like. It’s a not for profit business
