This looks like it might be a great evening. Remembering The Underground on Dame Street.

document 8 - we go again - Hope Collective

There will be chats about the underground gigs and how people are still creating things along with some music being played. It’s not a re-union but more of a rekindling

Mick Rock took this amazing photo in 1972.

Apparently, it was the original choice for the cover of Mott the Hoople’s ‘All the Young Dudes’ album, produced by David Bowie.

The best gig I ever saw cost £4. Spiralling concert prices are a cultural disaster | John Harris

Tickets for big tours have vastly outstripped inflation, while smaller artists and venues struggle. The magic is in danger of being snuffed out entirely, says Guardian columnist John Harris

When musicians don’t know how to end a song, they just fade out. I think other writers should do that too. Sketch comedy, screenwriting, playwrights. Have everyone talk softer and softer as they slowly sneak off stage.
Novelists can end chapters with gradually shrinking type.
