Didn't know the Mayflower Club
I never went to the Mayflower Club and only heard of it vaguely. It was only those two venues - the Ranch and the Russell Club that I went to during the punk era in the late 70s.
And incidentally, my one and only live appearance in a group I had put together mysef was in 1985 at the Gallery on Pater St, the basement venue. The buildings were knocked down in the late 90s to make the Great Northern Piazza and Bar 38.
I never was able to get it together playing live, but did lots in the studio - Cavalier in Stockport mainly. I wish we'd had the equipment and opportunities available today, it would have made my creative life a lot easier.
