A long shot I know, but I wondered if anyone ever saw The Clash make their live debut at The Black Swan, Sheffield in 1976?

I'd be intersted to know, although I doubt anyone on these forums did. But if you don't ask you don't get! :cool:

The Black Swan!! OMG! I always wondered what that was . . . I have a sticker of it on a mirror in my house.

I thought it must be some long forgotten beer or something . . . Now I know - so it was a pub.:confused: ;)

Yes...Don't quote me on this but I think it's now called the Boardwalk?

Yes indeed the black swan, more affectionately known as the Mucky Duck is now The Boardwalk and still has live bands. I never got to see the Clash, I was only 13 so still had to be in at 9 each night lol, but I did make up for it the year I turned 14 and became a punk with a vengeance :thumbsup:

I didn't see the Clash but I did go to the Mucky Duck on Friday lunchtimes to see the Go Go dancers and take part in the silly games they played . Anybody remember the limbo competition or Mighty Melvin? :banana:

I remember winning a pint and having to go on stage to collect it. When I jumped off the stage I knocked somebody elses pint over and ended up giving him the one I had just won. Happy days.

yes i doo remeber the mucky duck and the merrie england bar which was under the black swan i knew the bouncers on the door so i used to get in for nowt the manager was terrie steeples big well built guy always used to wear a dickie bow and black suit mighty melvin is still on the scene last saw him in the market tavern did not stop to see him perform tho!! only called in for a swift 1 lol!!:D
