What does it mean to you?

Special days out at Belle Vue, then later the Speedway - almost every home match during the 60's - then in the 70's Belle Vue Kings Hall for what seemed like every big gig - Roxy Music, Slade, Status Quo, The Who, Stones and later still, working in the music industry, putting on gigs at the Queens Hall.
