Talk:Free Trade Hall

message: Were Queen at this gig? Surely this is some kind of ruse to dupe gullible journalists into perpetuating the myth? (I have seen the entry reproduced verbatim elsewhere). Queen were a pretty huge band in 1976 - would it not have been widely noted that they were one of the bands there - given that most of the other attendees had yet to achieve fame at the time of this event - which is of course what makes it notable.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.99.147.18 (talk) 19:04, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What is your source on Hucknall being at the 2nd? I was under the impression he was at neither, but I can't recall where I read that. I assumed in Nolan, but you seem to have read that as well, so I'm not sure. --Tothebarricades (talk) 21:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sex Pistols concert on June 4, 1976

thread_title:  So when was it built? 

message: I'm glad to see this article finally getting the make-over it deserves as I have quite a soft spot for the FTH. My Uncle was general manager there from the late 60s to the mid 80s so I was there frequently during my childhood (more often than not running round the underground passageways between the offices and dressing rooms/artist's bar). Then in my adolescent years I worked there at concerts as a follow-spot operator.
I don't know if it's on the shortlist yet, but why no mention of the Hall's Wurlitzer organ? Incidentally I was there, backstage, for the Sex Pistols' gig in the Lesser Hall, and if you knew the Lesser Hall you (the Royal you) would know that most of the people who said they were there most probably weren't. The Lesser Hall seated 150 and it was much less than half full. That reminds me, the seating capacity of the main hall was 2500, but as that is OR you'll have to find something to back it up. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 10:22, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I only thought I'd tidy it a bit. I didn't know about the Wurlitzer but I'm sure I can find something.--J3Mrs (talk) 15:23, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ah, finally! 

message: As the previous posts, and one line in the article, mention, the Sex Pistols played at the Lesser Hall. Yet nowhere in the article's text is there actually a description of the venue in terms of its halls - in fact the line about the Sex Pistols is the only mention of a lesser hall in the whole article. There were quite clearly at least two halls in the venue, but actual details about them are completely missing. Grutness...wha? 02:52, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
