What ruthb and Brendan said


If you do a search for "dream machine" on the forum you will find the owners post on here regularly - as well as selling music they also host live music and had a great launch party in the constitutional hall as well.


I have however made a mistake re: John the owner. In the past I compared him to the latest Mike Myers film - when in actual fact he IS Warren Ellis from the Bad Seeds/Dirty Three

David Essex!!!! Ye Gods! I was in there the other night too with the lovely Tillie Trotter. I must have missed that bit and thank the Lord for that. I would have run screaming from the building with my hands over my ears.


Joey2, just pop into the Dream Machine and tell them you've got some albums you'd like to get rid of and I'm sure they'll be able to tell you what you can do with them if they can't get rid of them themselves.

Thanks Jah Lush, thanks to Tillie Trotter I know who you are too! I've spoken to you many a night in the Drum and you never remember my name! Must be my lack of bar presence :-(


I met John (I think that's his name) the owner of Dream machine and told him I'd bring my records down but just wanted a rough idea of what kind of fortune I'll be making from my albums! Probably not much as there aren't any David Essex albums

Sorry Joey2 but I'm terrible with names but I never forget a face. Introduce yourself to me again next time I'm in there and I'll probably forget who you are again the next time we meet. It's nothing personal. I think you'll find it's called alcoholic amnesia. The Drum seems to have that affect on me.


Good luck with the records.

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
