An independent music venue in Hull will celebrate its 40th anniversary later with a special performance by the very first act to play there.
Guy Gibson performed at The New Adelphi Club, located in a terraced house on De Grey Street, when it opened on 1 October 1984. Over the past four decades, the venue has hosted dozens of bands on the cusp of fame including Oasis, Radiohead and Pulp. Recalling his performance on the opening night, Gibson, who went on to play in a number of bands, said: “I can’t remember a great deal about it as I had a few shandies to steady the nerves.”
