Academy 2 (Main Debating Hall)
30th September 1979

Poor ticket sales for gigs in the Main Debating Hall were a concern in this article from 1979. The looming threat of cutting live gigs to one per week was being touted in a bid to cut financial losses with the finger of blame being pointed at poor promotion and the increased popularity of the clubbing events in the University Cellar.
