Rock band WEAPON played at the club twice, Saturday 10th January 1981 and Saturday 8th August 1981. One picture shows them with Les Pearce who, about this time, had moved up from door man to club manager.

Photographs have come to light showing members of “Discipline” at the Granary a few hours before their appearance on Thursday 5th May 1981. This was a warm up gig before their major tour. The band included Robert Fripp ex-King Crimson and Bill Bruford ex-Yes. Three weeks after the Granary gig they changed the name back to King Crimson. Photos show Robert Fripp and Bill Bruford. Our thanks to Gran Fan Aidan Naughton for alerting us to the photographs.
