Viewfirth
Deemac mentioned a new viewfirth rising from the rubble and i would be glad for it to happen. It was the place to put on a gig, indoor or out-anyone have a memory or two to share? At the very least im sure Deemac can furnish us with some Edge of the World stories.
Most of the time i spent at the viewfirth i was terminally jangled but loads of things stand out-first proper gig out of school, waiting to be buzzed in at the front door, the weird partition thing on the stage/darts ockey in the sports bar, the not unpleasant aroma of the place, the door at the far end of the barn that led into the kitchen, the time a certain young guitar player got so mangled he got hauled off in an ambulance during a blizzard, the sour faces of the snooker players when we used the sports bar for band practice, the sheer joy and thrill of being underage but having secured drink and turning up totally spangled, and countless enjoyable gigs.
Remember Dodgy playing there? The drummer seemed to be the only original one left and he was flogging a particularly decomposed horse corpse.
"But primarily, the drummer's supposed to sit back there and swing the band." The actual Buddy Rich
