tony:
The Mayfair had a rep for its Friday heavy metal nights - but over the years had a variety of acts on. Best gig I saw there was The Clash in 1978 just after their second album came out. It was the third time they played Newcastle and they were on fire that night, as were the audience. Absolute total mayhem...wonderful!
