Rullsenberg links to a great guide to The Pride of The Midlands / Cock of The North (note to self; redouble efforts to move back to Nottingham).
The elitism of Selectadisc and The Playhouse Bar of the early 1980s is spot on. I was back at The Playhouse last Saturday (taking the kids to see Jack and the Beanstalk). The Blitz Kids aren’t there any more.
Past glories: – great photos – and the original Rock City opening schedule.
The bouncers wouldn’t let me in to the opener Undertones gig – said I didn’t look eighteen (I was sixteen and looked fourteen). They relaxed after the opening night though.
Bastards.

Does it help or annoy for me to say I ended up back here by accident? Or at least mostly because I had a PhD "interview" at Reading Uni which resembled a Lacanian analysis session and I was just elated to meet a potential supervising department who conversed with me?!
Oh yeah, and my dad still lived here then...
refused entry to rock city for looking too young?!?
never happened to me!
I did say it was only the first night. They eased off after that and I got to see some great gigs there while still equally baby-faced.
By the way, everybody, check out Baz's blog:
