since having children i have become a classic 'mum' for example recently encountering a mobile phone that i didn't know how to use to make a call. so when i clicked on this thread i genuinely thought that one of the arcades had suffered a fire in brixton. i hope one day to keep up with the kids again...

Dear Mr Mightyroar.

First gig I'd been to since a friend made me go and watch Orbital with her a couple of years ago and after 2 songs I wanted to go home and lie down..however I thought Arcade Fire were FAB and it was over all too quickly. Their energy and passion had me hooked from the first song. Love Win's vocals.Came home and put Funeral on very loud.


Have you seen today's Observer Music mag front cover "Could the Arcade Fire be the best band in the world?". A Paul Morley. (Actually I dozed off as I was reading it but I agreed with the headline such was my high at the end of the evening, possibly also caused by dropping in to The Drum to say hi to any forumites on the way there.)


I was a bit phased on the way in when girls had to go in one door and boys in the other..the security was much heavier than I expected.....is it always like that there now??

Clicked on to this thread because I thought there was a real fire in an arcade in Brixton.


Now understand it's something to do with a pop group.


Have made a note with my pencil in my diary: "Arcade Fire" pop group. Mention to teenage kids!


Now worried that when I drop name 'Arcade Fire' into conversation kids will give me that Jeremy Clarkson, still wears jeans at his age look.


Please advise.

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
    • Perry Bamonte from The Cure.. Just 65 years old.
