Thanks.”

“No bar at this as I recall. Can't remember Stan Ridgways band being on the bill but the Comsats were brilliant. U2 had already disappeared up their own arses by this time.”

“Actually I now think they are the same place. I should have checked the tickets posted on here which say New Ardi, Coupland Street.
Compare old photos here www.images.manchester.gov.uk/Display....
and it looks like the same building.
Looks like I added a venue without needing to. So much for my first efforts on this great site!!”

“Thanks Tony.
Saw your New Ardri postings. Very interesting stuff.
I added this one as a venue as I couldn't find it under another name. Quite a range of music on that flyer!!”

“Thanks for that. Just checked that site. U2 played at the Poly. First on, then Pink Military, then Wah Heat! who met with the abuse, plastic "glasses" etc often given to Liverpool bands. U2 went down really well and Bono said it was their first tour and would be looking for somewhere else in Manchester to play. They must have found the Beach Club! I thought they were great then.”
