Hello melthebell et al

 

I work in same building as Pat Hancock, and used to work with Dom Bradshaw although dont see him much these days. Not sure if Bendy Monsters are still a going concern.

 

For short while I used to play in bands in and around West street(rehearsal rooms just down from dole office) v.briefly, my mates were in 'Hole in the Wall'

 

I also used to play down at the 'Basement' at Darmall, where if you were skint, they'd let you practice there for nowt.

will do.

 

Pat and his crowd I think were Beaver Hill types I think, I was a Brookie.

 

n.b. should have mentioned my band days were early 80's upto about 85/86.

 

We used to rehearse at a place just off near Devonshire Green too, cant remember name of the place though- an old engineering works(now student flats).

media premonition did?

[SheffNiner]

As we played in thrown-together ad-hoc bands we'd rehearse where Mat(bass player) could find us a room. Think we used at Stag Works, and somewhere off Brammall Lane for a while. A lot of established bands rooms, when they weren't using them midweek etc.

 

There was another one we used once behind the Beehive used by the Mau-Mau's.

 

We also used a practice room regularly at Hillsborough Barracks and that was about 1987-ish.

I can only vaguely remember practicing somewhere round Devonshire Green - was it behind the Washington somewhere?

 

I think we mostly used the Mason's room down the Wicker.

 

I remember going to a play drums for a punk/skateboard band up some outdoor rickety old wooden stairs somewhere off West Street - I wasn't good enough though. The one bloke I can remember was Glen - and I met him doing hunt sabotage.
