LOL.................Same gear, didn't part with the XD7's until I went digital. Found no reason to upgrade
I did stand near the speaker stacks, I'm partially deaf now!!
Quo were amazing. I used to work just a couple of doors down from the Duchess and knew the landlord who got us in for free. Those Quo guys do it 'cos they love it.
There was another good live music pub along the road from the bottom of the Headrow (where all the motor dealers and Maplins are), can't remember its name but I do remember it sold a mean pint of TT's "Landlord Bitter"...................which is probably why I can't remember it's name....................LOL........
Still proud of the fact that I'm Durham born & bred though
