It's not the sort of place you'd imagine playing host to some of the world's biggest bands.
But the New Adelphi Club, an end terrace in unassuming De Grey Street, is a legendary venue in the music business.
It may be frayed at the edges, but there are very few clubs in the world that can boast such an electric atmosphere.
Since opening its doors three decades ago, owner Paul Jackson has welcomed a virtual who's who of rock royalty through the doors.
Everyone from Radiohead to Green Day, Oasis, Pulp, The Stone Roses, Supergrass and Mumford & Sons has stopped off at the cosy venue en route to the rock arena and stadium circuit down the years.
Fans will know Oasis played the Adelphi the day before the release of their first single. Radiohead played twice – the second around the time of their huge hit Creep – from the album Pablo Honey.
Dance outfit The Shamen, who spent four weeks at number one with their single Ebeneezer Goode, once slept on its kitchen floor after their gig.
Today, as the club celebrates its 30th anniversary, archive photographs charting some of the top bands – both national and local – who have graced the swelteringly hot Adelpi stage have been released.
And, as bands such as Kaiser Chiefs prepare to join the 30th birthday celebrations with a gig on Friday, with Paul Heaton and Richard Hawley set to follow soon after, the Adelphi looks set to continue as a breeding ground and staging post for the stars of tomorrow for years to come.
Let's hope one of them is a homegrown band from Hull.
