Today’s photos were taken across three nights in 2003 when the city centre pub in King Street hosted a series of ‘battle of the band’ nights.

The venue is long gone of course, becoming the Sports Lounge before more recently transforming to the XOXO steak and burger grill restaurant.

There is another nightclub nostalgia trip next week, but to see all the previous galleries go to www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk

It might not have been the biggest venue in Peterborough but Fiddler’s Elbow certainly had quite a reputation when it came to live music at the turn of the century.
