Thanks for reminding me about the Hippo... Yes please!

Thanks for the warm welcome... We're thinking back to some of those iconic local venues like Mansfield Granada, Nottingham's Albert Hall, The Astoria, The Cavendish, Colmans, The Empire, The Gaumont, The Odeon, The Palais in Mansfield or Nottingham, Worksop's Regal and what about Sunday concerts at The Savoy Cinema? Not forgetting places like The Boat Club, The Festival Hall in Kirkby, The Festival Inn at Trowell, The Musters Club in West Bridgford and Rushcliffe Leisure Centre. Who did you see and where??
