Not Dolebusters that was at the Octagon (as well as outside at Weston Park) which is a big student venue. Could be the Hallamshire.

Wasn't Dolebusters an outdoors thing?

Is that "Barrabas" on the sign? As in "We want Barrabas" in 24 Hour Party People?

It's probably from the 'Outrage' Tour wherever it is, that'd be my suggestion.

Hmmmmm!

It's not Dolebusters - Magnus wasn't there for that one and he's clearly on drums here. And it's not the Hallamshire - compare with the pics at http://www.pulpwiki.net/Pulp/HallamshireHotel

As saw119 says it's likely to be one of the Outrage gigs from late 1985. If we exclude the ones where Magnus wasn't around that leaves the following:

4 October - Darlington Arts Centre (Outrage Tour)
7 October - Adam & Eve's, Chesterfield
17 October - Bradford University (Outrage Tour)
23 October - Middlesbrough (Outrage Tour)
25 October - Sheffield University
6 November - The Wellington, Hull (Outrage Tour)

Probably not Bradford or Sheffield Uni as it looks more like a pub venue.

Great photo anyway - where did you find it Eamonn?

It was posted on Pulp's facespace page recently. In the same album the person has pics of Henry Normal onstage, which made me think it was Dolebusters. She also has pics of other bands like Chumbawamba but it looks like they're taken from different dates and venues from the mid-80s.

Just to show it takes all sorts, even on the Pulp Facebook page, I thought some people might appreciate the latest photo posted there:

It certainly looks like the hallamshire to me, circa '85? Great pic.

I'm more convinced than ever that it's the Hallamshire after looking at those pics Sturdy! Look at the position of the windows and length of the curtains. If it is the Hallamshire it's actually a pic of a gig we have a recording of.

I agree, I think the Hallamshire is a good shout.

Nay lad. The back wall of the Hallamshire had a chimney breast, patterned wallpaper and plain curtains, whereas the wherever this picture is from had a plain back wall, no chimney breast and patterned curtains. The Hallamshire also had seating right along the side wall going up to the stage, whereas this place appears to have an upright piano next to the stage, which wouldn't have been possible had the seating been there. This is somewhere else. I stake my professional reputation on it!

Aha! Going through the the album the photo's taken from, there is another comment from the photographer which identifies the venue as Chesterfield Conservative Club. Which would (probably) pin the date down to 31 May 1986. The 'Band of '85' banner must be a red herring then!

Remarkable sleuthing, the second best related to an English group who came to prominence in the 90's that I've yet seen on the Internetz.

Diddled about with this in Photoshop and managed to bring up the quality a bit. Not too bad actually - would be even better if the scan was higher res.

A likely candidate, except they apparently didn't play it at this gig - see here. Must be Little Girl.
