Yeah loads of times. Saw a load of local bands there and also Iron Maiden, Paul Dianno's

Killers, Fish, Dogs d'Amour, The Almighty, etc.

Preferred the Festival House, but the Oval was the best around after the Fezzi closed. Just a shame it was so far out (I wasn't very well off back than so it was a lot of 1 hr+ walks as opposed to taxis!).
