I hadn't put 2 & 2 together till we were walking up to the gates.. turns out its Murdoch's old printing plant at Whapping, built to smash the power of thr print unions of Fleet Street in the 80s, scene of huge riots with the police as unions picketed to stop the scab labour being bussed in..Great place for a gig but think it would be better for club nights etc Edited December 3, 2021 by PaddockLad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those riots, we lived just round the corner and we used to do our regular Friday night pub crawl, round the 11 pubs between the river and the Highway in Wapping it was very entertaining watching that shit going down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob toonpants 3993 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 @PaddockLad great show last night, was so good to see live music again. I've seen them a few times and they seem to be getting better and better. They really are much better live than on record. Angrier louder and funnier Quite the twisted Yazoo cover as well All in all a top night 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastronaut 1333 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I've got no idea who they are but that sounds 80s as fuck and actually not all that bad. I got my missus Blondie tickets for Christmas, so there's a good chance I'll be stuck suffering one night in April. Looks like Johnny Marr is opening though so I might go willingly.

It's a wierd stance that people have about kids who have auditioned for singing groups,that been selected by music professionals, that they are going to choose the ones that can't sing. It's an easy put down, and its pretty sexist and snobbish to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44804 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I didn't say she can't sing, I said her singing voice is screechy and horrible to listen to. As for claiming it's sexist to not like one woman's voice.....bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
