Was a real tragedy. So scary too watching it on the news as a kid.

I remember the place and the fire. I honestly didn't know anyone died in it til now.

The Hacienda January 1983 , a few bits of Oxford Road and Whitworth Street too.
Anyone see themselves here !???

Probably been everywhere around Manchester, even the secret bars. But the Hacienda of all places, I've never been in. Used to enjoy a few at the City road inn across the road
