Too much good stuff on the first two albums, and after a while I got to like the Raven. Slightly later fave was midnight summers dream when I think that they were at their most intersting. All a bit down hill after that sadly.


Saw them at five different venues but not at the Hope and Anchor.


My Hugh Cornwall story is that whilst he was in Pentonville Jimmy Lydon (John's brother) started a campaign to keep him in there.

Something of a guilty pleasure in that I liked some of the tunes but thought the band were winkers. Saw them twice in Coventry 77-78, Jean Jaques Tosseur jumped off stage for a 'fight' on both occasions and at the 78 gig the crowd booed them off and chanted for the support band (Steel Pulse) to come back on.

    • Just for information: I see that the Licensing Sub-committee has the Tesco application as item 1 on their 24 July meeting agenda.  https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=8329. The officer's report to the committtee provides a good succinct summary.  I see, from (original) p.31 of the full public pack, that Tesco Legal Dept on 12 June reported that they'd agreed with the police's suggested conditions to be attached to the licence, and the police accordingly withdrew their own representation.  That leaves just one representation, from a member of the public, to be dealt with on the day. I still think it's not necessarily to be presumed that Tesco will definitely be taking over the premises.  I see that Poundland themselves were granted an off-sales licence on 21 Feb 2023, and surrendered it on 3 July 2025.  I'm not sure they actually ever used it themselves.  Did they? https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Statement of Licensing Policy 2021-2026.pdf is a full statement of the policy and its application, for thems as is interested.
    • I'm now just following David Peckham around, posting laughing emojis on all his comments.   
    • Well, quite. Do you know where your lad's going tonight?
    • I'd get rid of duty free shopping.  Nothing to do with tourist tax but something I hate.  All that glitz as you try to get through to Wetherspoons in the departure lounge.  No great savings over on line or even at times supermarkets, and the hypocrisy of selling cheap cancer sticks. Ok back to tourist tax
