Dr Feelgood: City Hall, Sheffield
Andy Gill, NME, 25 September 1976
HERE IN Sheffield there's a local aphorism along the lines of "Tha' works 'ard, so bloody well play hard". It fits. Most of the concerts here at the City Hall testify to that "play hard" bit. After all, sweetheart, this is Heavy Metal City, and folks round here like their vinyl well-done, not medium-rare.
