a while back when this forum started I mentioned that Rought Trade were going to be opening a store somewhere in the Brick Lane area. Got confirmation this morning.

"Located in The Old Truman Brewery, off Brick Lane (London E1) Rough Trade East opens it’s doors on Friday July 20th.

As ever, we’re here to champion the fledgling artist as much as those already established, so even if you haven’t got a distribution deal, we want to sell your record… we’ might even let you perform in-store on our Peavey equipped live stage.

There’s even a ‘snug’ area with free wireless internet connection for all you hot desk jockeys, for a more creative workspace. It will also be the focus of a programme of regular shop events which you can get involved in, watch this space, there is some pretty awesome stuff coming up! Plus the surrounding walls provide a dedicated gallery space for music inspired exhibitions by talented customers seeking that first moment of recognition.

To celebrate the opening of Rough Trade East, we’re busy putting together a month-long calendar of special in-store events. With a typical enthusiasm for the old and new, expect a carefully selected handful of top-secret artist performances."

possibly another drain on the wallet appears on the horizon I fear :-/

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
