Hmmm...

While I make no claims at being an expert, this shop/club rings no bells for me (although I was familiar with Boy). I am aware of both Don Letts (Punk Rock Movie and Big Audio Dynamite) and Jeanette Lee (Public Image Limited - although the Rough Trade association is problematic; Geoff Travis and...?) but not of this place where they both worked. As I said, I am no expert and was only on the periphery of the scene - but I sometimes wonder about punk's ability to rewrite the past. LessHeard vanU (talk) 13:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I second LHvU here. This rings absolutely no bells for me, either. – iride scent 19:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
