Where was McGonagles - 2006
Yeah, it looked absolutely tiny from the outside. it WAS tiny from the outside, but it went back... and back... and back... and baaaaaack! The stage was kinda interesting too, it was on two levels, a lower level, which wasn't too high (i remember because i used to be able to run jump onto it, sh*t, how fit was I then?
), and then there was another level for where you'd stick drums, equipment etc. So the lower level wasn't the highest, of course, it was monster sized by comparison to the one in Fibbers 
The one major drag was downstairs toilets, of course, women would go into the guys toilets and vice versa and nobody gave a crap. Fun times.0 -

The only place left to go now is Fibbers, which for some reason permanently smells of piss. :mad:0 -

I use to hang out in McGonagles quite a lot in the 80s and saw a few british bands there to like XTC ( making plans for Nigel) and the Only Ones ( Another Girl, Another Planet ) .The lead singer off the only ones was his face most of the time and would have gave Pete Doherty a run for his money in the druggie stakes

I hadn't been to Fibbers since about 97, and it had the smell then! So when I went to Dominion there around 2005, I think it was, I just remember smirking and saying "the more things change, the more they stay the same".
Well the smell is missing in dominion's new home on dame st but everything else
seems to have transferred well enough.0 -

Quick search found this:
Taken from http://www.xentrix.co.uk which says 1990.
I was at most of the gigs already mentioned. Can't remember being at Sacred Reich but I can remember it was one of the many tickets I had stuck on my wall. Anyone remember the Gang Green gig there? And sweet jebus look at the size of the place. A small disco venue and Ozzy rolls in to do a couple of gigs (and Def Leppard a while later).0 -

great pic of the Xentrix show. n from their site i've loadsa stubs of shows such as that my sister went to in McGonagles, remarkable the acts that dive hosted! she kept the faith in one respect by continuing to go there but changed w/ the clientelle.. when it became System
seems some were more willing to let go of the scene than the venue itself. testament to the place i suppose..
here's a link to 2 pics from the Fugazi show, of the crowd. was a little late for McGonagles i was more Dillingers / Pox n Pheasant / the Attic in '93. Rock Garden on saturday afternoons with Synapse (Stuart Halpin fronted em, Justin on guitar), Fifth Dominion, Cythrall (knobs) etc.. n SFX of course.
