Witness you? Witness me?
Den's at his peak of fitness.
Still thinks his knob's for stirring tea,
Cos he's a Jehovah's Witness.

Great idea to have a thread!
Spent many a night as a spectators and a few as a performer. I miss those night, standing on the chairs at the side, with sweat dripping from the ceiling and its thanks to him.
It's hard to sum up his contribution to music, culture and Hull. But 10,000 of thousands of people will have been reminiscing on great nights spent at nights at his house. No one had a bad word about him. What an incredible impact!
Hard to narrror down best moments , but seeing
- melt banana
- freaks union
- and some great residents dj night
All come to mind
In raising a glass to Jacko, he'll be catching some monster bream in heaven

Very sad news...The Adelphi is not only a Hull institution but hugely important part of grassroots music and the community. Paul was a huge part of that.
Weirdly enough despite living within 10 minutes for the last 6 years and going to gigs at big venues like Wembley Stadium, Etihad Stadium, Co-Op Live, Manchester and Sheffield Arena I've never been.
Hopefully that'll change in the next few months!

I met Paul 'Jacko' on a few occasions, he was a good friend of my youngest daughter and they knew each other from way back when she ran and edited the Hull Vive music pages for the HDM and helped promote a couple of gigs with Paul at the Adelphi. He was a big City fan too. Very likeable, and I'd say a private bloke too, never one to blow his own trumpet either. His work in promoting Hull's music sense will become, if not it already is, legendary, and this mans contribution to Hull should be recognised in some way because he was a special bloke. I've had the pleasure of doing a five minute set on the stage there too, and felt as though I'd achieved something just by being asked to do it because the Adelphi is to Hull what the Cavern was (is) to Liverpool. No age either. RIP pal, let's hope he is never forgotten.
Yep stood on the chairs at the side with sweat dripping from the ceiling many times. Great nights.Great idea to have a thread!

My lad took me to see melt banana, absolutely brilliant, shame I was deaf for 3 days after.
Gutted I missed Melt Banana
I knew they were coming and for some bizarre reason completely forgot until the day after
I went a fair bit in the late 80s and 90s, but I cannot for the life of me name a band I saw with 100% confidence, except for probably that Hull Punk band with Dave Hardcore singing and think The Levellers who I didn't really like.
I was lucky enough to see Green Day and Radiohead there. Other than that, aside from local bands I saw the likes of Supergrass, The Bluetones, Carter USM, etc. Recently I went to see The Primitives there and Tracy Tracy is still just as good looking as she was.
Screen shotting this....worth a wind up with Dave.
Crap. Saw them loads and sat and drink with them in Queens a lot. I blame old age.
Used to be a big skin with them called Snaz who used to hang with them. Smuggled him into Spiders once for laugh. Good times.
Snaz ended up on drums for them, ( cant remember if Gannet was the original Slander drummer ? ) Snaz emigrated to Australia a few years back.
Yeah, I forgot about that. What did Yannas play a bit later. Was that drums or guitar? Think his first night was the last time I remember seeing them.
Yan with the glasses ? in truth i dont remember him playing for them. Apart from Gray and Dave being ever presents i couldn't tell you who was exactly in the band all the way through as it was only in there later years that i managed to watch them on occasions.
