Pauline Richards… Love the balcony on a summers day!!

Stuart Moir… Great place to play when the music scene in Hastings was fantastic, so many venues having live music .

Paul Phillips… Stuart, wasnt it just Friday and Saturday night live bands in The Yelton

Stuart Moir… I think you’re right Paul, Centre Page enjoyed the gigs we played there with full capacity every time .

Paul Huggett… Stuart, certainly was, did 24 gigs there with No Limit in one year, early 90s. Ernie was a strict manager there, but if you got a deal from him, it stuck. No mucking around or “double booking ” nonsense.

Stuart Moir… Paul, They were the best venues in the town, as you so rightly say Paul no problems ever, Ernie was one of the best, we never had to search the country for bookings, the venues and agents phoned us prior to the start of every year, two and three bookings every weekend, played hell with relationships

Mick O’Dowd… The Spiritual home of SMART! Loved going there to see great bands but there was such an diverse mix of punters from the flash to the loony( sorry can I say that?).

Paul Coleman… Worked in the kitchen for a weekend when I was a kid. Left quick when the very volatile foreign chef threw a cooks knife across the kitchen. Missed me by inches! Do your own washin up!

Nigel Ford… Perhaps I’ve said before, owned by Michael NOTLEY (name in reverse) who had a farm in Magham Down near Hailsham that I ploughed at once in the East Sussex ploughing match mid ’70’s.

Bob Searle… Played there lots of times
