The Damned at The Roundhouse

Getting into the Roundhouse, we caugth the end of the support act, The Dickies, before The Damned came on. After a while, myself and Ironbeard went down into the Mosh pit, which was fun, if hard work at times!

Camden Town, before The Damned gig

Before The Damned gig at, we met up in Camden Town, and visited a few pubs en route to The Roundhouse. We started in The Camden Eye, then The Elephant's Head, The Hawley Arms (Amy Winehouse's old local, rebuilt after its fire) and Finally Joe's Bar opposite the gig.

Lev's 50th at The Savoy Tup

After The Paramount, we all moved on to The Savoy Tup. Lev had laid on another spread of food, and some golden oldie songs for everyone to have a dance to. Even more people came along in the evening, so it was difficult to get around to chatting to everyone there!

Lev's 50th Birthday at the Paramount

A large group of us went to The Paramount restaurant at the top of Centrepoint for a lunch to celebrate Lev's 50th Birthday. The food and drink was very good, with fantastic views over London. It was good to catch up with a lot of old friends including some who had travelled from Finland.

Dad's 80th Birthday celebrations

Ahead of Dad's 80th Birthday on 3rd December, we went to Santore for lunch in Exmouth Market. It was a  nice long relaxed lunch. Afterwards we headed on for another drink before going home at the (noisy!) Crown pub in Clerkenwell Green.
