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.
