by Paul Talling
244 pages
Paperback
A photographic guide to the iconic lost live music venues of London, as they are today
Did you get tinnitus from too many gigs at The Bull and Gate?
Spent your youth propping up the bar at The Marquee Club?
Or witness early gigs by rock legends on Eel Pie Island?
Then this book is for you!
Paul Talling takes a look at some of London’s much-missed music venues from the post-war period to the present day.
Featuring photos, adverts & tickets, this book is a portal to a less homogenised London, taking you back to the city’s halcyon days of jazz, blues, folk, rock, punk, indie and more.
You can now pre-order this from any local book shop or record shop or online via Waterstones, Gaunt Books, Foyles, Book Depository, Amazon and all other good sources worldwide.
Good namecheck for @derelict_london in this piece.
