chrubble Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Better/edgier music than the Leadmill, wading around in a couple of inches of Newkie Brown on the floor and one particularly good Sharp Cuts gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KevinM Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I spent more time in here than I did at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger23 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 First night there was 15th August 1978. Cabaret Voltaire (strange but good), Molodoy (woeful Clockwork Orange rip-offs), Deaf-Aids (forgettable) and The Push (really good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cw1972 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I was only old enough to remember the final two years of the limit, it was an atmospheric, scruffy little dive and you feet always stuck to the floor, remeber that raised seating area that was to the right as you walked in where we sat drinking and smoking all night - good times as an 18/19 year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabaret Voltaire (strange but good), Molodoy (woeful Clockwork Orange rip-offs), Deaf-Aids (forgettable) and The Push (really good). Went to that one too, Dodger, and it would have been one of my earlier ones as well, since we are v.approx the same age/FPS. Probably more than a few GOOD nights spent, not wasted at all, in that hot and sticky old basement club! Some EXCELLENT music from the DJ's though...and a good few up and coming Punk/New wave groups, local, national and international at the time. Didn't you often used to catch the 75/76 late night bus after, up to Lane Top area?There was usually a small gang of us, Sheff 3, 4 and 5 crew. BTW - I've read most of your Life in the City of Ghosts, blog thingy too. Thanks for the postings. Got a keen stomach for memorabilia/Nostalgia nowadays, at my age! Give my regards to Lango, Vinner, Wilma, et al, if you are in touch with them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember Cindy and the New Jets, well, maybe very vaguely....what year are you talking here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladesman1961 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Not exactly sure of the date,either 1977 or 78. Probably the latter.Cheers,Bladesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropout Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 i DO vaguely remember Cindy and the New Jets, though I cannot remember why, I may have seen them myself...or the name mentioned in Sounds or NME at the time?....if it was in 1978, they may have been support band to someone, say....Generation X perhaps? There is nothing instantly available on Google search engine about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone thought they played at the Sheffield Limit Club, West Street in 1978, Anyone remember them? were they local, UK or International? (Thanks). 215 views 0 replies February 2019 Hello Bladesman,as you can see, I did a bit of research on Cindy and the New Jets....215 views, NADA! Nothing! Are you sure that is what they were called...or are you having a laugh? or did you see them somewhere else, perhaps? Have you any remaining evidence that you saw them at the Limit Club?
