And that’s what we are bringing you with a retro reflection at Viva, which was on Mile End Road in South Shields.
We bring you 10 photos from the venue that come to us courtesy of Wayne Groves.
A big thanks for Wayne for the incredible selection of images and we hope that they bring back some great memories for you.
So if you’re ready, let’s take trip back in time to 15 years ago.
