Transcript

00:00What would you like to see done with the old boardwalk building?

00:02Maybe a music venue again, yeah.

00:06Did you used to go there when it was a music venue?

00:07I never did but Sheffield's got a very, had a vibrant music past so yeah, something new.

00:16We don't hear much about music now Sheffield so yeah.

00:20You think it's been shut too long?

00:21Yeah, yeah, all this area yeah.

00:25Yeah it'd be nice to see some, yeah something done with it

00:28because it's a bit run down around Smigiel area yeah I think so yeah.

00:35Can you tell me what you'd like to see done with the old boardwalk?

00:39Well I reckon it's like, there's not many pubs for people that used to go there so

00:45they should open it up again as something like that, something what it was like an alternative pub

00:52for bands and such.

00:54Could you tell me what you'd like to see done with the former boardwalk?

00:58Yeah I think it'd be good to see another music venue, something like that or another entertainment

01:02venue and I think it'd be really good if it was worker owned.

01:05Did you ever go there when it was a music venue?

01:06I haven't no but I would do if there was something else there now.

01:10Could you tell me what you'd like to see done with the old boardwalk or mucky duck?

01:14Well to be fair I remember it as a music venue where you put, you know you used to go and

01:19see some live bands and I'd quite like it to return to that kind of venue because there's

01:24nowhere in Sheffield that unless it's a big venue where you can actually see live music anymore

01:30especially since the O2 arena, the O2 academy is now closed because of that concreting problem.

01:38Did you see some good bands there?

01:40Remember a few I can't remember the names because they weren't particularly big bands

01:43at the time but again it's like it's like your working men's club thing but a little bit more

01:50new not just a what do you call it?

01:55Up and coming bands?

01:56Yeah a new band rather than a tribute band.
