Dates and line-ups are being checked against original printed material before individual records are published.
THE NIGHTS
A chronological route through the nights: dates, venues, rooms, line-ups, flyers and surviving recordings brought together as one connected archive.
The early chapter belongs to a scene still finding its legal, physical and musical shape. This index will connect documented dates to surviving flyers, recordings and first-hand accounts.
Dates and line-ups are being checked against original printed material before individual records are published.
This is the core of the archive. Individual event records will identify every arena and distinguish confirmed line-ups from incomplete or conflicting listings.
The main arena, Rollers and neighbouring spaces created the scale associated with the classic era.
Venue history ↗Printed line-ups and original recordings are treated as connected evidence, not decorative extras.
Flyer archive ↗The story did not stop when The Sanctuary closed. Reunions, later venues and new audiences form a separate phase of the archive so the original chronology remains clear.
