00:00 So this week we're talking about what's probably my favourite club, because I was actually old enough to go to Limit, the legendary Limit on West Street.
00:07 So my name's Neil Anderson and I've got, I've published the Dirty Stopouts Guide series.
00:13 Yeah, well the Limit, it kind of, it was really our kind of contribution to the punk rock music, punk rock explosion, kind of, late '75, 1976.
00:25 And punk wasn't particularly well received in Sheffield, like many places really, and probably the first venues, they were, I think it was Windmill Club,
00:36 it was more kind of rather in Doncaster where a lot of the kind of local punks were having to go.
00:40 And I think one of the places that were quite accepting was a rock bar, The Wapping Tech.
00:46 But, you know, Sheffield never really had its own kind of punk rock club, and one of the former DJs from The Wapping Tech, a guy called George Webster,
00:55 he got together with a former police officer, Kevin, Kevin Johnson, and they came up with the idea for The Limit Club.
