The Saddle on West Street was the smallest of chain of venues along West Stret which included the limit Club, the Hallamshire, the Mailcoach and the Beehive. The music room was at the rear of the pub and the narrow entrance made any decent sized PA’s impossible to use.

Bands who played there include Geddes Axe, The Naughtiest Girl Was a Monitor, Vena Cava, Disease, Uncalled 4, Veiled Threat and many others. In some ways it was the least attractive venue on West Street, but you couldn’t be too fussy!
