I'm doing a feature on the much loved home of all things goth, rock and roll and bluesy, and the home of Alice in Wonderland, After Dark, Buttz and Spike and the Batcave.
Anyone got any anecdotes or pics?
(Batcave thread here: http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/sho...d.php?t=250236 )
Lordy. There's some *shocking* pictures about to go up in this feature.
80s big hair ahoy!
Gossips - is that where Gaz's Rockin Blues used to be?
That was a weird crowd back in the 90s - minor actors that you remembered being in Grange Hill and glamorous prostitutes
I only went once. The Fuzztones put me on the guest list for a gig they did at Alice in Wonderland. Spent the night drinking Jack Daniels with them and half the Damned. It all got a bit messy
As anecdotes go, I realise the above is a bit shit
I do remember the bloke from Dr & the Medics who was DJ playing an English psychedelia type tune with the lyric "daddy always said to eat up my bacon rind/the traffic lights are changing somewhere in my mind". Anyone know what it was?
I forgot I saw the Damned play there. And the Mission too.
I enjoyed the few times I went there - less of a club, more a goth after-hours drinking den, very relaxed and fun.
Here's the article - http://www.urban75.org/london/gossips-club-london.html
And Gossips today:

Hi Mick
not sure this is spam tbh.
wasn't/isn't Ed a drummer?
What a terribly rude reception. Hi Mick, please excuse the animals, they haven't been fed.
It's not spam. He's not selling anything, for a start, and seem to know Ed quite well.
Bloody hell peeps this isn't spam!
Do any of you actually read anything on here?
Hi Mick
Great to see you here - and I'm glad you found my article!
I'll remove the clueless spam comments, because that's no way to greet a bona fide poster, you rude feckers.
Mick used to run the Gossips Club in Soho home of the Batcave, Gaz's Rocking Blues and other great rock'n'roll nights. It was ace! Vic Reeves got his big break there. Dr & The Medics, The Quireboys, Sisters of Mercy, The Mission were regulars there. I played there a few times too!

Favouritism!
Well, we def would have met at some point. I was in that place all the time.

it's great to see the photos of the old place and so many familier faces
So sorry the club closed but the leases ran out and were not renewable due to the change of use for 69 Dean street to be an hotel
