Alchemy-Dire Straits Live (1983). I know some people will scoff at this, but it was a major soundtrack of my sixth form years, in the eighties and I haven’t heard it for years. I am right back there with all the friendship, love, joy and of course, angst! So nostalgic and whatever your views on the music I think it is a brilliant live album and those versions are THE versions for me. No scoffing from me. Love that album. Is that recorded at the Hammy Odeon? I certainly saw Dire Straits live there that year, but am unsure if I've ever actually heard the live album. Like many people I went very off Dire Straits after Brothers in Arms became arguably the most ubiquitous album of all time. A single note of some of the songs on there can make me head for the hills. The first three though, and maybe even four, are however great albums. Yes, it was recorded there. |

The posts from local residents are pretty scathing; sounds like an absolute s@!t show.

Apparently over the past few years it has been run by various companies (all owned by the same people) who have successively declared themselves bankrupt in order to avoid paying debtors, including local youngsters who'd been doing p/t work as well as suppliers.

Are they going to change their name to the Brassneck?
Sadly there is a venue in Lancaster which has a bad reputation when it comes to paying performers. In these post-Covid days bands often struggle to make ends meet and the last thing they need is venues messing them about. A couple of gigs at another venue in town have been cancelled due to poor ticket sales. Fingers crossed that an alternative venue can be found. |

Some weeks ago someone sent me a message on FB with a link to a Soft Machine gig in Coventry, at the Albany Club in Earlsdon, about a 10 minute walk from where I live. So I thought it would be rude not to go. Venue was very busy, with not enough tables/chairs out, and after a bit of chaos the organiser admitted he'd never been so busy and this was the best turnout for the Jazz Club he'd ever seen. They were excellent, playing a lot of new stuff and some classics, including Facelift, Joy of Toy, and Hazard Profile. How much of it got played (i.e. just Part One, I'm guessing)? Probably my favourite Soft Machine track from my favourite Soft Machine album (which normally makes other Canterbury fans guffaw.... |

I found a post with Peggy's words. Pretty strong words at that.
