  • Location / Sheffield, England
  • Venue / Dial House Social Club
  • Full Title / Dial House Sports And Social Club

The first show by the band in this city since April 1979.

The second time at this venue which was first played in January 1979.

This venue is located in the Wisewood area of the city.

It was not far from Steve Clark's parent's house and also the Wisewood cemetery where he is now buried.

The Grade II listed Dial House building was built in 1802.

From the 1960s through the the early 1980s the building was used as a social club and entertainment venue.

Other local Sheffield acts to play included Joe Cocker and Tony Christie.

In 2013 the building was restored and is now part of a new housing development. It had been closed as a business in 2005.

Another local band called Rockets supported the band at this show.

This venue is sometimes listed as being on Far Lane but that is another road that Ben Lane leads into further up from the venue.

The venue was never known as the Far Lane Club.

This was the band's first performance of 1979 after the previous two scheduled shows were cancelled/rescheduled.
