I saw the Meteors at the Swamp in my youth, I got splattered in the dance floor. Next time I saw the Meteors was at the Ace Café a few years ago being backed by the Hot Rocket Trio (a Croydon rockabilly band now split), I made the mistake of thinking that because since the last time I saw the Meteors I had filled out & survived many a mad pit including many of the Ramones ones I'd be fine. Wrong, within 10 seconds of the first song I bowed out with blood pissing from my nose...

And of course they used to have 'Live' bands in the 'Cartoon'. What about the 'Bierkeller' in the High Street ? Is it still there ? And wasn't 'Kembers' once called 'Westside' ? Saw Charlie Kray in there once. And of course 'Davy's' winebar. Edited by Willo (25 Aug 2015 9.50am)
