The Sea Cadet Hall in Cambridge, Rowan Robertson(Dio) played his first gig there, when we use to go in the late 70s/early 80s there was lots of NWOBHM bands like these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NO3q__Coso.

Any favourite venues that have long gone?

West Runton Pavilion. Despite being a village just outside Cromer, in deepest North Norfolk, eveyone played there. Motorhead's first tour, Blizzard of Oz before anyone knew who they were (billed as a secret band) Rory Gallagher more times than I can remember and anyone who was anyone in the '70's.
Sadly missed, and now has a blue plaque, I believe.
I forgot about WRP, good shout.Sadly missed, and now has a blue plaque, I believe.

Klooks Kleek in West Hampstead.
I lived just around the corner and spent a LOT of time there;
so many artists to mention, but The Graham Bond Organisation (with Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and John McLaughlin) were a regular favourite. Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames, John Mayall, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Little Stevie Wonder, Julie Driscoll, Long John Baldry, Brian Auger and The Trinity ....
.... I could go on but it was the '60s and so I don't remember that much

What was the venue/pub a few shops down from the The Town and Country Club in Kentish Town? Bull and Gate? or something similar I think.I lived just around the corner and spent a LOT of time there;
