Did you go to see David Bowie at St. George's Hall in Bradford in the early 70s? Or did you manage to catch Joy Division, The Clash or The Jam in action there?

If so, you might be the owner of something the venue desperately wants to get its hands on.

The West Yorkshire venue is nearing the end of a multi-million pound refurbishment, and as part of that they want to feature gig posters and tickets from years gone by on their walls.

Trouble is, they have some gaps and now they're appealing to the public to try and plug them.

The theatre opened in 1853, and staff there are now even looking for memorabilia from the Halle Orchestra who performed there around that time.

If you do, Hull will be the place for you to be this weekend as the 12,800-domino run gets under way.

The first push is at 16:30 at the Boat Yard near Hull Marina, heading through the Thornton estate and eventually finishing in Queens Gardens at about 17:20.

The Real Junk Food Project is set to benefit from the Co-op's "food redistribution scheme" which will see grocery items taken off the shelves earlier on their use-by date.
