handypandy   14 #6 Posted December 19, 2010 I went in a few weeks ago to see Frank Vignola, the American jazz guitarist. Its the first time I'd been in the place for about 40 years. I was a good night, but my God, what a dump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
number   10 #7 Posted December 19, 2010 Whoops! Typo in your thread title. Though the U and I are next to each other, so an easy mistake to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
muddycoffee   10 #8 Posted December 19, 2010 I understand they are knocking some walls out and making it a bigger venue so they can have a bigger crowd capacity. Also the under the boardwalk beneath is to be improved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dizzyblonde   10 #9 Posted December 19, 2010 although this is what they say on their website, there has not been much sign of any refurbishment going on. Shame if it does not, although being in a crowd of seven for Jake Shillingford was a little disturbing. "my life story" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bilge   34 #10 Posted December 19, 2010 It's overdue for a refurb that's for sure but it's a great place to see bands and it's got an incredible history as a venue. Staging the first ever gig by the Clash should warrant a blue plaque and the rock/pop equivalent of world heritage status alone. But virtually everybody else of note has played there too over almost 50 years.  http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2445&page=5&highlight=black+swan+history  I look forward to reading the book if one comes out.

Considered going, but thought I would stay in and save the 50p cost of admission.  I hadn't ever heard of the Clash or the band they were supporting, some outfit called the Sex Pistols.
