Milton Bridge Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Remember the Glaswegian Choir on Closer to The Heart on Exit stage Left. It was recorded in the Glasgow Apollo, probably Britains best music venue through the 70's and 80's. It was a real dump but the crowd were famous - I have had some fantastic nights there. I found this tribute to the Apollo. Sadly it was pulled down a few years ago and is now a multiplex cinema Apollo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 The sad truth is that a lot of the great Uk venues are sadly slipping from then Tour schedules. Where are the gigs at the Hammersmith Odeon (last I heard it was the Labatt's Apollo), Sheffield City Hall, Leicester DeMontford Hall, Stafford Bingley Hall, Manchester Apollo, Ipswich Gaumont, Birmingham Odeon, Hanley Victoria Halls and others of that ilk. Nowdays, they all seem to be the identikit arenas qith horrible sound and no atmosphere. Sad but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Edinburgh Playhouse and Aberdeen Capitol were contenders, but the crowd there were a little less enthusiastic, but enjoyed themselves just the same. Happy Days!
