ts i remember finch's , i was always in the star or there hammered + met plenty of trustafarians (one had a carribean island i recall) , remember meeting some reet cunts but on the whole was quite a place . richard harris came in one day , bought everyone a drink , then we all went to some after hours portuguese basement .
Yuppies started taking over in the very late 80s... My local, Finch's (now better known as the Duke of Wellington), got overrun by Transvision Vamp and all their cunty, puffa-jacket-wearing mates... We had to up sticks to the Pelican...
All went downhill very quickly after that, for a while there it was fucking hipster heaven... I lived on Blenheim Crescent above Mike's Cafe, Ray from Thee Hypnotics lived over the road above the Travel Bookshop, Joe Strummer, Brian James, Mick Jones and all those other punk rock cunts all lived around the corner...
