Rough Trade Records ⁽⁶⁾

Well we recently headed up town to a very 'posh' venue as it was a birthday celebration we'd booked dinner at one of London's well known hotels/restaurants. To be honest we got it as a Groupon gig so it was quite a bit cheaper (more affordable) than if we'd just booked without. I had a little nosey around the area to see if there were some things we could do before the dinner at 5:30, although both of us have…

A 'dreaded' sunny day and a trip around town hunting down some art galleries and hitting a few other bits along the way.

I used to work there on frequent…

Have to be honest there are some good bands e.g. Siouxsie & The Banshees with the track Halloween on the 'Juju' album from '81 and Japan also with their track Halloween from the '79 album 'Quiet Life' to name but a couple that I could have posted, so anyway I had a rummage around and tried to keep the…
