For the life of me, I can't remember if Moz ever went to the Hacienda Club (the spiritual home of Factory records). He probably did. Anyhow, there is a mention of the Smiths and a picture of Moz on the BBC website (caption: "Morrissey epitomized Manchester cool")

Hacienda Lots To Go Up For Auction

Apparently, they're tearing down the Hacienda and auctioning off such items as the DJ booth, chunks of the dance floor, bricks, etc. Under the heading, "A Brief History of the Hacienda," the Smiths are mentioned as having performed there twice in 1983.

      The Smiths played an early fantastic gig at the Hacienda which was recorded professionally by Factory records but never released. I have a bootleg copy and it's brilliant. Morrissey appears with a field of flowers to bash at the audience. Sublime!

        Allthough I was too young to go to the Hacienda in its hey day, I was always facinated by it. This could be why I am so passionate about my music today. I am at University in Newcastle(from lancashire) and I promote for my own Progressive House club night. One of my dreams, is to one day bring part of the Hacienda back to life. For me it is a magical place! Still cant believe its gone...it seems a large hunk of 'House' history has dissappeared..what a shame
