I think it is at least in england followed closly be liverpool maybe. is it? is it not? Why and where makes it the capital live music.

My fravorite pub in Camden has closed! the Fusilere and Ferkin was I think its most recent name. Turned up there not so long ago for a pint or three and a watch of whoever was playing that Sat lunchtime - to find a fkin woman's cloths shop! Wasn't even alternative - barbie shit only!

But yes, London's good for live, bit dead out here between Watford and Uxbridge, Croydon used to have a good place, the Cartoon Club, was my local early 90's, saw loads of good bands - Bad Influence, Papa George, Basil's Balls-Up Band and loads more. Seen Dumpies Rusty Nuts at the Marquee - is that still going?

The marquee in Hertford? Yep that's still going! There's loads of 'seemingly un alternative' chain pubs getting on the live music bandwagon (scuse the pun) It's just a matter of finding them!! Although you can't beat Camden for a good night out!

Yeah i agree camdens good. But I do get f-d off when good underground music pubs/clubs get the £££ signs in there sites, turning into wine bars or hikeing up there prices with no tolerence bouncers on the door. still prefer the underground spots. Anyone ever been to a squat rave?
