    I remember seeing Magazine, but can't remember the support at all.

    It was the Damned at Middleton Hall when Rat Scabies squirted lighter fuel on his drums and set them alight - what a rebel

    Virgin Media is owned by the American communications/entertainment giant Liberty Media, not sure if Branson has much input other than for investment purposes.

    He has no involvement, other than the £10m a year he gets in royalties fur the use of the Virgin name.

    The elephant in the room of course is the Damned at City Hall in Dec 79.

    I believe the support group was Then Jericho (great name - no really!) but a coachload or two of scruffy Middlesborough 'punks' started throwing their weight around with Hull's teenage suburban New Wavers.
    Word reached Bass House, and back up arrived.

    The rest, as they say, is history. Messy messy messy to paraphrase the Damned.

    The support was The Odds.

    A great deal of fire extinguisher action that night.

    My bad.

    Sure 'Then Jericho' (yeah) supported at some event around then.

    You never get these fire extinguisher moments at the Clean Bandits.

    Then Jericho were a mid-80’s band, I seem to remember quite liking them, though I can’t actually remember any of their songs.

    I always feel sad when an old building is demolished, as I hope that they are kept for generations to come. But the Edwin Davis building is an eyesore and should have gone years ago.

    I agree
    The only thing I hope that’s kept in that whole development is the BHS mural
