And the guy who owns Press To Play is indeed a legend.

Shame to hear about Beatniks though, I used to get quite well the owner. Still, Anglia Square and St Benedicts on the whole are basically sanctuaries for skiving A-level students like I was if they're anything like they were 2 or 3 years ago.
Mark E Smith was supposed to play a solo gig at the waterfront not too long ago but he cancelled, don't know if thats what you're refering to.

My main prize from Press to Play is a Bowie single of Rebel Rebel which is supposed to be backed with Queen Bitch but is actually backed with Song for Bob Dylan, i've never checked it out but i'm sure it's worth a bit as a misprint. I think Anglia Square is anything but a sanctuary to me but Benedicts definitely. It;s quite surreal talking to someone about this, my music conquests were always solo!
