beezer   10 #109 Posted September 17, 2005 Hello all, The limit club on west street was my fav destination on friday/ sat nights and i never used to miss monday nights aswell. The dj was a chap i knew from my school days paul unwin ,as i knew other people that went to tapton comp such as jed . the groups i saw there were later to become famous, remember the U2 gig when their first album "Boy" came out during the gig i remenber the bassist breaking a guitar string Other groups were UB 40, OMD, B52`s, depeche mode,as well as Paul young who always came when the groups didnt turn up used to bump into Human league members and cab voltaire,along with ABC , mostly at the gigs i`ve just mentioned. The club opened around 1978 and i went there until 1986. I`ve heard Kevin webster is reopening another club with the same name as the site is no longer in existance, thanks supertram Happy days for me The thing i remember is 10 pence for your coats please at the bottom of the steps when handing your coat in. regards to all past folks who went there from Beezer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

sunflower_gb   10 #112 Posted September 18, 2005 What did change into "THE Geisha BAR"?" then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
JillieT Â Â 10 #113 Posted September 18, 2005 Crazy Daisy --> Geisha Bar --> Legends --> at this point I had no interest and so couldn't say if there are any further resurrections. In fact I'm not sure if it's dead or alive. Hubby born & bred says its where Blacks keep their hiking boots but then it's always difficult to know whether he's being serious - on a Sunday.

nevynxx   10 #115 Posted September 27, 2005 50's nights in Sheffield...... Yes there are but not very often, I generally find out when from Alan who works in Oxfam on Ecclesall Rd, he's one of the old crowd.  If you did The Dog, did you do The Bull & Woolpack in Doncaster ! people dangling out of the last trains windows ?

muddycoffee   10 #117 Posted September 27, 2005 All this talk of the limit and old night clubs is very relevent to me and the "clubs we have lost" section of the Rockreunited website.  Rock Reunited - Place for Rock Memories of Sheffield  There is a very active page there remembering the limit which has had contributions sent in by 35 different people so far.  What I really want is a picture of the place though.  nobody it seems, ever took a picture of the building or it's sign. Do you have one? Please let me know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
