90's and renamed the Powerhaus but that didn't last too long. Bands playing there in the late 80's inc Blur, Hawkwind, Jesus & Mary Chain,Steve Marriott, Gong, Snuff, The Exploited. I hosted an all weekender there in 1989 which was so busy the police had to stop the crowd spilling out into traffic on the Seven Sisters Rd. The pub was known

Toby writes: "In the early 90's we used to go to an amazing night there called 'Night of the living dub'. Many a debauched night there mingling with rude boys, dreads, punks and crusties (and the odd crack dealer). Was the best night out at the time, always finishing with sitting eating bagels at 7am trying to get the hypnotic dub-reggae basslines out of your twisted brain..."

Kevin Brunton writes: "The Harry Lauder music venue in Nick Hornby's High Fidelity is based on the Sir George Robey. Wealways wondered after reading the book as we lived just down the road at the time. We had the chance to confirm this with Nick after a special screening of Fever Pitch in Brixton."

Emma Hastings writes: "Spent an amazing night at the George Robey in 1990, it was my first psychobilly gig. Was approached by a lad saying "gohanyspee" over and over. Finally realised he was asking if I had any speed - I didn't."

1988-89.I liked this venue because it was skinhead friendly,we could get in here no hassle.As a result there was very little trouble.I was travelling in from Hertfordshire for the first 5 years of the time spent at this venue, it was very easy for me to get to, though the night bus journey back to Waltham cross (N90), then the cab fare on to Hoddesdon wasn't nearly as easy! I was gutted when this shut down, still annoys me now walking past it. That and the rainbow opposite, gone ...Disgraceful!! People/Bands I have seen here include Desmond Dekker, Derrick Morgan, The Nutty boys,Bad manners/Busters allstars, the Riffs,The Selector,The Lambrettas, Screaming Lord Sutch, Steve Marriott, Angelic Upstarts, etc Also, a certain American band called "No Doubt" I kid you not! Well so it says on one of my old tickets, to be honest cant remember if they played

Jimi Hendrix played there in the early stages of his career. Bob remembers this place in the 1980's: "it had the most easily irritated and lethal bouncers I have ever seen. I actually witnessed them beat a guy to death one Friday night." Update! The pub has been converted into a Costcutters supermarket.

Claire writes: "The Barfly was a huge part of my life during the mid- to late- 1990's. I remember seeing many bands (most of whom never quite got as far as Coldplay!) in that tiny little back room with the pocket handkerchief stage, and even interviewing some obscure band for a fanzine in the pub itself. I remember all the flyers and zines piled up on the windowsills and the fact that you could often spot some obscure but cool musician sulking over his pint in the corner. You always went home with your ears ringing. I never quite got over it when the Barfly moved to the Monarch on Chalk Farm Road (never quite the same atmosphere) and the Falcon closed. "

James Young writes: "As a regular gig goer, dates get fuzzy but I would put this at about February 1992. After much hype, I went down to the Camden Falcon to check out Suede. Even though they were ‘hot stuff’ there was still only about 20 people in there. I did recognise Kirsty McColl and Suggs but not the person with them as it was dark. As I was leaving, after the gig, there was a huge crowd at the bar crowding round someone. I later read that the person with Suggs and McColl was Morrissey, and he had to escape the mob. Suede, of course, were amazing."

A venue situated inside the shopping precinct regarded by some people as a bit of a dodgy venue to frequent. I put on one of the first ever Manic Street Preachers gigs here but sadly have no pics although I recently found a leaflet & backstage pass (see below).Now a pool hall and barely recognisable as the Opera inside or out. We had a few lively nights here............

Ilford's Cauliflower has a 40 yr history of live music, spanning The Small Faces and Ian Dury through to Inspiral Carpets is currently up for sale. The pub was recently empty and appeared on the derelict pubs page but has thankfully reopened and not been demolished of turned into f**ts.

In the early 70's, the Tally Ho was the was one of the homes of "pub rock", the agglomeration of bands that resisted prog rock, playing instead a mixture of rock'n'roll, blues and country. The pub rock bands - Ian Dury's Kilburn and the High Roads, Nick Lowe's Brinsley Schwarz, Joe Strummer's 101ers, Eddie and the Hot Rods, Dr Feelgood - were vital to punk.

Jim Delaney writes: "My mother, Lilian Delaney, was landlady of the Tally Ho from 1959 to 1973, during which time it was the best and most famous Jazz pub in London, with live music 7 nights and Sunday Lunchtimes. We had a write-up in the Daily Worker in 1961. Ronnie Scott used to complain that he'd paid the fares from the US for famous jazzers and there they were jamming for free on Sunday lunch at the Tally Ho. After the popularity of jazz started to go down, there were folk/soft-rock bands such as Kilburn and the High Road - the Tally Ho was one of the places they (and their lead, Ian Dury) got their start.Not long after it was taken back into management by the brewery (Watney's) and we all moved on, the large Public Bar, the larger music bar, the small private bar, the off-licence and a large store-room behind the off-licence were all knocked into one ridiculously-sized room, which made it more like a barn than a pub.I never went there again, it was too depressing."

Originally called The Railway Hotel it has a long association with music and dance - renamed Brady's in the 1990's, and continued to play an integral part of the local music scene, with bands like Alabama3 regularly putting on shows. In the 1960's, Jimi Hendrix was reputed to have regularly jammed there after playing in the West End. The film 'Rude Boy' by the Clash features scenes shot in the Railway Hotel. Squatters took over for a while putting on shows until 2002.

I Hate Punk Rock

A night at the Red Eye, a headful of smoke

A van load of schoolgirls and spiky haired folk

Who dance on the tables though no-one can see

But seven stoned crusties, and that bloke, and me.

You're loud and you're fast and you jump up and down

But you ain't serious musicians, yer just mucking around.

I couldn't believe it when you cranked up the amps

It was bollox, toilet, a complete load of pants.

Did nobody tell you that punk-rock is dead ?

Go back to your bedrooms - play covers instead

The market's wide open, there's infinite scope

Playing this indie bollox you haven't a hope.

Three chords and a prayer just isn't enough

You're destined for obscurity like Glitterbox and Snuff.

As the Pistols could tell ya, you're flogging a dead horse

Cos I hate punk-rock.

I'm joking of course.

The Red Eye was home for me (gigwise) for many years during the 90's. A 15 min walk from Kings Cross tube often put this venue "too far away" from the "Camden Elite" but I had many happy years here with both the regulars and the other people that worked here. Once Leo Sayer turned up randomly one Tuesday night to check out some new bands! I ran a record label and let in all band members and fanzine writers in on the guestlist so there was always quite a few people at the gigs for other bands to play to loosely creating a small scene.

One of West London's most legendary music pubs between the 70's and approx 1991. Most up and coming bands played here at some point. The gig room here is now an eating area and a Plasma screen is where the old stage used to be. The pub is now called The Puzzle.

The first time I came here was in 1989 when Mega City Four played here in the summer just as their debut album was no.1 in the independent charts. The bands knackered old faithful Ford Transit was parked on the pavement surrounded by hordes of punters queuing to get into the venue. Inside it was so hot that moisture was dripping from the ceiling. Afterwards, I walked a girl back to Clapham wearing a new pair of DMs - I will never forget those blisters.....

Bands played here from AC/DC in the mid 70's to The Verve in the early 90's. The Jam's first London gig was here in 1974 (3 years before they released "In The City") supporting Stackridge and Thin Lizzy. The Stackridge fans pelted them with turnips.

In 1977 The Specials played here and Mick Jagger was in the audience, keen to sign the band to Rolling Stones Records ( The Specials ended up signing to Chrysalis instead). Around the same time The Damned played here and the PA fell into the crowd but the band just carried on playing. Culture Shock were due to play their farewell gig here in 1989 but hundreds more people turned up than expected leading to a crowd storming the venue and a mini riot breaking out leading to the gig being pulled. I was promoting an Exploited gig up the road in Shepherds Bush and my mate was using his car to shuttle people from Fulham to the Bush to get a few extra punters through our door. He later used the car to take a skinhead to hospital after the Exploited gig got a bit lively.

These pics are courtesy of Fin Fahey - the one on the left was taken in Oct 2005 and the one on the right in Nov 2005 after the signage had been removed. The gigs were held in a music hall to the rear left of the pub where the railings are now.

"Despite being unable to hear the single on daytime radio, 'God Save The Queen' reaches the number one slot. Meanwhile, during a break from their recording sessions: Johnny Rotten, Chris Thomas (producer) and Bill Price (studio boss) are attacked outside the Pegasus pub. Johnny has his arm slashed open and suffers tendon damage."

Originally a jazz & blues club in Oxford Street the venue was relocated in 1964 to old Burberry warehouse premises in Wardour Street where it became something of a legend in rock and pop music. The opening night featured Long John Baldry and the Hoochie Coochie Men (featuring Rod Stewart) and the Yardbirds. Regular gigs followed by Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Cream, Pink Floyd, Manfred Mann, the Who (who had a long residency at The Marquee) , Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull in the 60's/70's and then bands such as the Clash, Ultravox, the Pretenders, the Police, the Cure, Joy Division, the Damned, Generation X, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the Sex Pistols in the late 70's. During the early to mid 80s the Marquee became an important venue to the New Wave of British Metal bands such as Angelwitch & Praying Mantis and Iron Maiden were filmed playing there for a tv documentary. It was here that the then unsigned Marillion began to gain a wider fan base and press interest playing frequent 2 night residencies to a sold out crowd. By contrast, the venue prominently featured in the 1985 video for the Wham! single "I'm Your Man".

The club closed in 1988 after the vibrations from the bands were believed to have caused the facade of the building to have slipped towards the pavement. The main room of the club where the bands played was then demolished to make way for a Terence Conran restaurant (left of pic) The old entrance to the club remains (right of pic) and is known as Soho Lofts apartments.

After Kiss performing at a grand reopening in 1988 this venue remained quite a popular part of London's music scene but not with such a cutting edge as the previous venue. There were loads of punk goth and rock nights here but often older names such as UK Subs, Henry Rollins or Johhny Thunders. I did however see a few good up and coming bands such as Crazy Pink Revolvers, Creaming Jesus, Manic Street Preachers & Boys Wonder here over its short life.

above pics of Kid Gladlove (left) and Johnny Thunders (right) which I believe was his last UK gig before he died. I made the promo leaflets myself back in the days before I had a computer using some logos, pritt stick & lettraset!

During the 1960's it was called the Whiskey A Go Go, and the basement belonged to a e rhythm and blues bar called the Flamingo where Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames had a residency. In the 1980's it changed to The Wag Club and was quite a trendy haunt by all accounts: "Night after night, a young crowd endured the humiliating ritual of trying to get past the bouncers on The Wag Club's door for the right to join some of the biggest names in music, including Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, George Michael and the Rolling Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards." Robert de Niro visited weekly in the 1980s, David Bowie filmed a video (Blue Jean) and Madonna propped up the bar apparently. Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa played their first UK gigs here, while Shane McGowan was clobbered onstage with a guitar by his co-singer Caitlin. Some of the most popular acts of the 80's graced the venue's tiny stage, including Fine Young Cannibals, Tom-Tom Club, The Pogues, Beastie Boys & Bananarama. Sade played one of her earliest gigs at the Wag.

The club waned slightly in the mid 1990's until the arrival of Blow Up - a 60's pop/mod/new wave club having guest bands from stalwarts of the 1960's music scene such as Desmond Dekker, to avant-garde acts such as Chicks On Speed plus early gigs for up n coming acts like The Libertines.

This college was immortalized in Pulp Common People as the place where the woman who caught Jarvis Cocker 's eye (along with Jarvis himself) studied. It was also the site of The Sex Pistols' notorious first ever "gig" in November 1977 (notorious because some say they were actually thrown out after 5 songs). Stuart Goddard, later Adam Ant, was in that gig's headliners Bazooka Joe. Goddard & Glen Matlock of the Pistols were students of the college .Paul Simonon, of the Clash, and Shane MacGowan were also fellow students.

I remember seeing Green Day play here (1992?) very early on in their career (obviously). I regularly attended gigs here on Zombie Club nights to see Big Boy Tomato one of my favourite bands of the 90's - girl fronted punk rock like no other - they used to have a big bowl of lethal punch on stage at gigs and handed it out to the eclectic audience. The Auteurs performed their debut gig here in 1992 & The Divine Comedy also played here that same year.. Euston Rails is now a pub called The Head of Steam.

The opening night of The Vortex featured The Buzzcocks, The Fall and John Cooper Clarke and was gate crashed by the Heartbreakers putting in a final appearance before going back to the USA. Their work permits had been withdrawn and their tour called off. One of their roadies, Terry, was now employed as a bouncer at the Vortex and through him they approached the venue to play for free.

The Vortex had quite a rough reputation with stories of a Sham 69 fan being thrown by bouncers through a glass door and stories from Skrewdriver of their fans beating up security & barstaff. The Jam’s ‘A Bomb In Wardour Street’ describes a night at the Vortex with the narrator being beaten up and 'stranded on the Vortex floor' with 'the blood starting to pour' while '3 geezers' have his girlfriend pinned to a wall.

In 1977, the Sex Pistols release of "God Save The Queen" had been timed to coincide with the height of Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee celebrations. By Jubilee weekend, it had sold more than 150,000 copies. A private boat was chartered from Charing Cross Pier & the Sex Pistols performed while sailing down the River Thames, passing Westminster and the Houses of Parliament. The event, a mockery of the Queen's river procession planned for two days later, ended in chaos. Police launches forced the boat to dock, and constabulary surrounded the gangplanks at the pier. While the band members and their equipment were hustled down a side stairwell, manager Malcolm McLaren, designer Vivienne Westwood, and many of the band's entourage were arrested.

Denmark Street is a short narrow road in central London, notable for its connections with popular music, and is known as the British Tin Pan Alley. In 1926 Melody Maker was first published at number 19, opening up the growing musical movement to a nationwide audience. In the 1930s musical instrument shops began to appear amongst the publishers, as well as a number of cafés and bars. In the late 1950s in the cafes around Denmark Street, Lional Bart, writer of the musical "Oliver!", heard the latest R&B brought over by young London Merchant Navy men and was inspired to knock out early British Rock and Roll hits for the publishers of Denmark Street.

The green logo to the left of the picture is that of the Job Centre. Serial killer Denis Neilson worked here during his reign of terror. He had lured 12 men back to his north London flat over a four-year period, and strangling them. He dismembered the corpses, then buried the remains beneath the floorboards or flushed them away.He was eventually caught after his disposal of a body blocked his household drains and drew the attention of the police.

Regent Sound Studio was one of the first recording studios to open there in 1963 and shortly afterwards The Rolling Stones recorded their first album, called simply The Rolling Stones, in that very studio. In the 1970s, the Regent Sound Studio played host to the likes of Stevie Wonder, who recorded there in 1974. It was also the first studio in the area to get a 16-track machine and thus was one of the most sought after spaces in the street.

This is the spot where Marc Bolans mini skidded off the road and smashed into a big tree. The generic crash barrier has been painted up to make it extra safe in day-glo pink and yellow. This isn't a standard colour scheme, its a fan tribute safety system that has been hand painted on.

A great "toilet/transit van" circuit pub for bands in the 80's and 90's. Great venue. I remember seeing Dave Vanian from The Damned chatting to fans outside on the pavement before playing a gig with his other band The Phantom Chords. When England won the Ashes a few years back I remember seeing this pub in the background with people sitting on the roof trying to glimpse views of the match inside the adjacent Oval cricket ground.

Les Cousins was a folk and blues club in the basement of a restaurant in Greek Street It had its heyday during the British folk music revival of the mid-1960s and was notable as a venue in which musicians of that period met and learnt from each other. As such, it was influential in the careers of,Al Stewart, Davey Graham, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, John Martyn, Alexis Korner, Roy Harper and Paul Simon. Several albums were recorded there.

The club was reputed to have taken its name from Claude Chabrol's 1959 film Les Cousins, the story of a young man from the country who comes to the city to study law, but is distracted by the rowdy cousin with whom he shares lodgings.[5] However, the name was usually pronounced with English pronunciation, rather than French. The decor included a huge wagon wheel and fishing nets. The club was noted for its all-night sessions and was favoured by the innovative musicians who were less welcome in more purist traditional folk clubs. Before Les Cousins the venue was known as the Skiffle Cellar.

Based in Old Compton Street between 1956 and 1970, The 2i's was owned by Paul Lincoln, a wrestler and wrestling promoter. The coffee bar had live music and several stars were discovered or performed at the coffee bar, such as: Tommy Steele, The Vipers, Cliff Richard, Hank Marvin, Joe Brown, Screaming Lord Sutch,Johnny Kidd, Paul Gadd (later to be known as Paul Raven and then Gary Glitter), Mickie Most and Big Jim Sullivan.

The Astoria Theatre opened in 1930 & live concerts were held here in the 1960's by world class acts including: Shirley Bassey, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, Nat 'King' Cole, Cliff Richard, Joe Brown, Dave Clark Five, Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley, Brenda Lee, The Beatles, Gene Pitney, Roy Orbison, Geogie Fame, Everly Brothers, Sonny & Cher, Otis Reading, Walker Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Duke Ellington and the Beach Boys.

The Astoria was renamed the Rainbow Theatre in 1971 when The Who performed the first concert in the newly named theatre. It became a world famous venue where all the major groups and artists performed for the next ten years, including; Alice Cooper, Wishbone Ash, Mott the Hoople, Fairport Convention, Joan Baez, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Steve Miller Band, Desmond Decker, Deep Purple, David Bowie, Genesis, James Brown, ELO, Status Quo, Garry Glitter, Kinks, Chicago, B.B. King, Lou Reed, The Osmonds, Neil Young, Roxy Music, Stevie Wonder, 10 CC, Bay City Rollers, Queen, Tangerine Dream, Jerry Lee Lewis, Iggy Pop, Marc Bolan & T Rex, David Soul, Elton John, Slade, Dolly Parton, Bob Marley, Rose Royce, Donna Summer, Boney M, Blondie, Olivia Newton John, Sex Pistols, Jacksons, Boomtown Rats, Dionne Warwick, Iron Maiden, & The Jam...........The Ramones "Its Alive" album was recorded here.

Originally a Crosse & Blackwell pickle factory, The Astoria Theatre opened in 1927 principally as a Cinema but it also had a large Ballroom fitted into the basement. (Later known as the Bang in the 1980's then LA2 or Mean Fiddler in the 90's). It closed as a cinema in 1976 and converted into a live ballroom - The first production at the new Astoria Theatre was 'Elvis the Musical' with P.J. Proby and Shakin Stevens in the cast which opened in 1977.

The Astoria has in the past played host to the Rolling Stones, Prince, U2, Foo Fighters, Eminem, David Bowie, Nirvana, and Radiohead, amongst many other world-class acts. The Astoria was hugely popular with the gay community with its G-A-Y club nights which boasted guest appearances from Geri Halliwell, Kylie Minogue and S Club 7.

This Ballroom in the basement of the Astoria was octagonal in shape and had a central dance floor surrounded by a higher gallery and could accommodate a thousand people. Many up and coming bands played her in the 90's and the venue hosted indie/alternative club nights (such as Club X ) at weekends. Artists including Iggy Pop, Yoko Ono, Primal Scream, Moby and Metallica all played here.

The Hammersmith Palais de Danse opened in 1919 to host the jazz bands.For a period in the 1930s, the Palais was also used as an ice rink, with the London Lions ice hockey team using it as a base.It remained a popular dance venue throughout the 1940s and beyond, but played host to more and more live music.

Its international renown is linked to the classic The Clash song "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais". Bands who played there include The Cure, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The Sex Pistols.PiL, The Cramps, and Soft Cell (who played their "farewell" there in 1984).

The venue closed in April 2007, with Kasabian, Idlewild and Jamie T among artists playing the last ever gigs there. The final gig was a performance by The Fall on 1 April 2007. The venue will be demolished and site will be used for an office and restaurant complex

The Garage (once known as the Town & Country 2 ) hosted bands from the late 1980's & closed in July 2006 but fortunately will reopen in late June 2009 after extensive refurbishment works. Bands who have played here include Oasis & Arctic Monkeys.

Originally built as a billiards hall, with a dance hall above & called the Temperance Billiard Hall (aka Electric Theatre Cinema) the 'Garage' is a reference to what was once a large garage next door (where Majestic Wine now is).

This tiny boozer down the Goswell Road put on strippers at lunchtimes & bands during the evenings when it was run by the guys who owned the Sir George Robey of Finsbury Park in and around 1988-1990. Picture above is of the Rising Signs in 1988. Bands of note who played here were Lush ,Snuff and Mega City 4 (If I remember correctly...)

Just a room above a pub gig venue with countless bands playing there in the mid 90's as part of the small scene gig circuit. It gained credibility with clubs such as Blow Up and Club Skinny and was a late night haunt for britpop stars such as Blur and Menswear. Club Skinny then changed its music style & single handedly invented the "Romo" scene - a 1980's New Romantic revival championed by Melody Maker magazine who featured the "scene" on its cover before the scene was really ever established.The Laurel Tree was tiny and Club Skinny relocated to the HQ Club as its popularity grew due to all the media interest. The Laurel Tree stopped hosting bands soon after and the building has been subject to various building works ever since.

The Romo scene created at Club Skinny's original Laurel Tree venue moved to the HQ but after the frantic signing of all the Romo bands (Orlando, Plastic Fantastic & Dex Dexter for example) by the major labels and the lack of record sales, the bands failed to attract large audiences.Romo was championed by ''Melody Maker'' at a time when the British music press had a rapid turnover of new genres and styles; the movement post-dated the New Wave of New Wave, which had included successful bands such as Suede and Elastica. Romo did not achieve the same kind of success, however, and had faded from public view by the end of 1996, becoming merely a passing whim and failed hype by journalists and gullible record companies.Club Skinny then shifted its musical style to raw early diy punk ethics successfullly hosting bands for several more years. The venue eventually closed down as a venue i the early noughties. No idea what it is now....

First known as the Kilburn National Ballroom then later as the Kilburn National Club, the venue played host to hundreds of major rock bands in the 1980's and 90's from The Smiths (Rank was recorded live here) to Nirvana, Simply Red, Suede & Blur. In 1999 it was closed down after long legal battles over noise levels. The venue is now a church.

This was the largest cinema in Europe when it opened in 1937, with more than 4,000 seats - Gracie Fields & George Formby performed at the official opening broadcast live on BBC Radio A gold and green dome tops the enormous auditorium and the foyer houses two chandeliers which are replicas of those at Buckingham Palace, only bigger. The State possesses the largest original Wurlitzer Organ in Britain, one of the few remaining in the country today. The State is now empty and rumoured to have been purchased by a religious organisation.

A great little basement club in the West End. It rose to prominence in the Britpop years of the mid 1990's. I remember a club called the Indie Pounder on a wednesday night. £1 to get in and £1 a vodka & coke or £1 a beer. Bands played here from the late 90's and Metro became one of the most credible venues in Central London.

The Roundhouse,built in 1847, is an old steam engine repair shed that had its own central turntable to turn engines around.As steam engines became too large for the building it then became a warehouse for Gilbeys gin from approx 1860 until 1960when it had its first spell as an arts centre. It became a legendary venue in the 1960s and 70s. where The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, The Ramones, The Who & The Clash played gigs. The Doors played their only UK gig at the Roundhouse.From 1983 the Roundhouse was closed and a variety of schemes were mooted, money was squandered but nothing much happened.

That all changed in 1997 when former toy magnate Norman Torquil, who made his millions from the Polly Pocket dolls, saw the building and realised it would be the perfect headquarters for a project that had long been close to his heart. He wanted to give underprivileged young people the opportunity to participate in arts and cultural activities that they would otherwise be unlikely to get a chance to take part in. So, a week after first seeing the Roundhouse,Mr Norman bought it.

There is also a new wing around one side of the building housing a studio theatre space, cafe, bars, backstage facilities and offices. Below the main arena is a state-of-the-art young people's creative centre.The distinctive roof of the building has been replaced and its central glass lantern restored to its former glory. Roundhouse chairman Torquil Norman said: "Today marks the culmination of 10 years' hard work and the results have been worth every moment.

Chief executive Marcus Davey said: "160 years ago the Roundhouse began life as an engine repair shed built by Robert Stephenson in 1846. Over the years numerous attempts to establish it as a venue for the arts have been made but today we celebrate an architectural treasure with a colourful past and announce plans for a bright and uncompromising future."Programming director Verity McArthur said: "The restored Roundhouse will be a major new home for artists and audiences to experiment in the areas of physical and new theatre and will promote ground-breaking work in music, dance, circus and exhibition and installation events and more.
