Stoneground stood on Birch Street in Gorton and  was originally the 'Corona' Cinema and The Southern Sporting Club. They had some good bands there. 

I do remember going there once to see some friends of mine, 'The Willie Eyfot(?) Band'  who did CS&N type stuff. 

They were supporting 'Back Door' an amazing trio from Sheffield comprising alto sax, drums and the fantastic Colin Hodgkinson on bass and vocals. Colin plays chords on a Fender Precision like you're not supposed to be able to do.  People like that make it hard for the rest of us.

I remember around 1974 ?? (correct me if I am wrong )going to see Leo Sayer at The Stoneground when he was wearing his clown outfit - was it 'The show must go on' I am sure this may have been the 1st concert I had attended....

The carpet must have been full of beer because I remember my feet sticking to it :-)
