Otta Are you sure? It's probably widely known their first gig was at Samuel Jones' sports ground in the village. Then they played gigs at The Castle, the pub almost opposite Southampton Way in Peckham (don't know if it's still there). Both of these came about as Alan Lancaster's father (he was the original bass player) worked at Samuel Jones, based in Southampton Way. Never heard of them playing in the Uplands though, although Francis Rossi used to live in Underhill Road and above the co-op (now estate agents)on L.L., so it does seem logical.

Thanks, Jah Lush, I didn't know that. Genuinely fascinating to hear this fact.

My own personal experience of seeing a band right at their outset was going to see Iron Maiden playing in The Green Gate pub in Bethnal Green Road in about 1977. Just goes to show, little acorns etc etc!!

I seriously doubt it MrBen. It's possible he played there but we can't be sure without any proof. I've always known the pub as the East Dulwich Tavern or EDT for short. I rather think the cabbie was pulling your plonker.


Adonirum - I saw U2 at the Marquee Club when they first started out.

He probably makes up something similar for each drop off, tailored just in time for the tip.


*points at The Nag's Head*


"See that pub there? That used to be called The Burgess Park and Spandau Ballet played their first gig there" etc etc


An amusing game with blow ins like me.....

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
