HJH Pub Rock

DogFacedBoy's picture

at the Three Kings boozer in deepest Clerkenwell a band including Robyn Hitchcock, Graham Coxon, Mark "Bedders" Bedford and the ever reliable Terry Edwards played the little known album "Abbey Road" in its entirety. It was just a joyous, hot, packed n sweaty event.

Around midnight and after a drink or three, Mr Hitchcock, Coxon, and a couple of others reconvened to busk through some Floyd, more Fabs, Kinks, Velvets which were sung along to with lusty vigor by the late drinkers. It became like the world's greatest pub jukebox as they took requests. Coxon swapped to drums to play "A Day In the Life", "What Goes On" n more

sometimes life is flippin great!

anyone going to tonights repeat set - have a good un!

Sunday

Tonight was fun too. Very hot! They all seemed to be having a ball. Don't know if they came back on later again, but I doubt it as there was an auction after the gig of various signed bits and pieces.

Is this the Three Kings

opposite the church - Clerkenwell Green? Great pub - but tiny. If is the same pub - just wondering how many they could accomodate after the band/equipment squeezed in. Sounds like a fun gig though

Yeah thats the one

About 50 tickets were available and the band had to squeeze through the crowd to get to the stage. It was pretty packed but not uncomfortably so - just a bit hot
