Venue notes: International Club, Manchester UKDefunct punk club -- actually, two defunct clubs, both of which were demolished in the early 1990s. International II was a somewhat larger venue than its predecessor, and run by the same people. (Thanks to Ross Bracegirdle.) Was located at 210 Plymouth Grove, Longsight. The owner was Gareth Evans (born Ian Bromley), who also managed the Stone Roses.Correspondent Simon Combs recalls in Sep 2008: "This was a great smallish club where I saw Husker Du and the Stone Roses amongst others. Low stage, sound can't have been too bad or I'd remember it, with the bar only a few metres back from front of stage and to one side. A great venue. I'd seen them at the Hacienda. The International II was a big unfriendly old fashioned medium sized dance hall with mezzanine level around the sides and back which was improved by its demolition. Horrible."
