There was discussion for ages about tearing down this properly 1960s brutalist concrete shopping bunker.

In the end they got rid of the ugly building and replaced it with a beautiful car park :thumbup:

With the ever popular, for the young and trendy ahem, Shirt King, Saturdays market day was really busy. Remember seeing a new, as they hadn't been out long M1V Cortina in the tricorn with milk crates under the axles and all the wheels gone.

I do wonder if the popular icons who died young would be so well remembered had they lived a longer life, maybe dragging out a half-baked career, doing shit gigs before retiring into relative obscurity.

There appears to be a big market for" previously loved" ex 80s music bands doing the rounds, went to a Squeeze one last week ( very very good)who were backed up by The Beat, also had a couple of unknowns (to me) playing, saw Billy Idol a few weeks ago, tribute bands also seem to do well.

Bad Manners are playing here soon.
But we gotta pay :(

Council usually pay for all the concerts, including Disturbed a few years ago.
