A great venue for Sunday nights. Saw Queen, Stray, Curved Air, Groundhogs and The Jam to name but a few. Health & Safety would have had a field day there because it was a real fire trap if I remember rightly.

Not sure if it's still available, there is a superb book by Chris Groom entitled ROCKIN' AND AROUND CROYDON.
It gives listings of all the rock, folk, blues and jazz shows in & around the Croydon area between 1960 - 1980.
Plus great articles/interviews with local heroes, photos and leaflets reproduced for the likes of Greyhound, Fairfield, Olive Tree, Star, Orchid, ABC Savoy, Top Rank, Red Deer, Cartoon, Wallington Public Hall, etc.
It's in front of me now and I could bore you all with some of my stories as well as those in the book, but I won't!

No, not roon, just another Croydon music lover.

How's Perth these days? Will look forward to returning to the Sorrento/Hillarys area sometime. Last time I was there, I met Sean Murphy who spent a bit of time with our lot during a loan spell from Sheff Utd. Nice guy.

That was where I saw my first ever live gig.....Wizard


saw my first gig there too - Budgie in 1975. At the end, the drummer threw his sticks into the crowd and one hit my best mate in the face !!

went there every Sunday night during the punk/new wave years
