We will never see their like again.

Thank Christ.

As discussed in t'other thread, put me down as a definitely maybe for this. Nobody knows who I am but I received a personal invitation from Sulky Lad himself. A friend is in town but as the plan is probably to spend Saturday in various London hostelries anyway we will try and swing by.

Soooo... the Fugs, Geno Washington, Nick Lowe, the Sonics and Wire jump off that list for me. Apparently this year's Meltdown is part of the 'Festival Of Britain' the Southbank are running over the summer. Given this one includes the Fugs and the Sonics I'm not sure how accurate that is.
