Tiffanys in St Stephens Street, Stockbridge, was already an old dancehall when most of the gigs listed below took place, having seen the likes of Little Richard play there in the sixties when the hall was known as The Pentland Club.

Thank you to Ken for his memories of Tiffany's
"Also went to quite a few gigs at the old dive that was Tiffanys in Stockbridge.God those fishing nets and glass balls hanging from the ceiling! Martha and the Muffins late 1980 were good.The best by far though were The Pretenders late 1979 (I think) - Stop Your Sobbing had just scraped into the charts.Chrissie and the boys put on a great show.She was in her iconic red leather biker jacket as they jumped on stage post Ride of The Valkeryies overture.I remember they played every track off their first(just released) album and when the crowd roared for more she said "Sorry but we've played everything we know!"The encores had to be songs they'd played earlier but still went down a treat with the adoring audience.By the way,they were supported by a then unheard of UB40!"
