WHEN John Sicolo - owner of legendary rock venue TJs in Newport - died in March 2010 tributes flooded in.
By July that year an open-air concert in tribute to John was held in John Frost Square - called TJs in the Square.
Thousands flocked to the city centre to see bands such as Goldie Lookin' Chain, Novocaine, Darling Buds, Flyscreen and Sick Livers to name just a few.
Many of those bands found their feet in TJ’s in those heady days and played one-off sets for 2,200 people.
Here are some archive images of that memorable day.
