Academy 2 (Main Debating Hall)
9th February 1980

A not so favourable review of the Chrissy Hyde's performance when The Pretenders played the Main Debating Hall, the gig was during the band's month long reign at the top of the UK album charts with their debut release. A big ticket show!

Taken from the Mancunion newspaper, written and edited by University of Manchester students. With thanks to James Peters at the University of Manchester Archives and Ben Ward at University of Manchester Students' Union.
