molan Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01r6x99 Watched this last night and realised I think I saw just about every single band on the show live! I moved to London in '78 and spent many a night out on the pub circuit. In fact it was seeing some of these bands in previous years that was a major influence in going to Uni in London instead of Oxford or Bristol. Graham Parker was my personal favourite, such a cracking live band but most of the bands on the programme were great to see in little London pubs and clubs Edited March 9, 2014 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great time to be around London for that sort of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) I play in an occasional Rock and Roll band (Twang Peaks) with Mick Molloy (Bees Make Honey). He's a lovely guy and wicked guitar picker. Edited March 9, 2014 by chris_b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place was absolutely rammed, the hottest I've ever been at a gig - came out and my shirt was literally drenched with sweat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even in the coldest winter it was still a sweatbox. I remember seeing the Feelgoods there once and a bloke spilt a pint of lager all down the back of a girl in front of us and she hardly noticed as everyone was soaked in sweat anyway.
