The Blue Nile
Sigur Ros.
Been having a think about this in mind of my home city the last couple of days. Here we go…Stoke-on-Trent.
Pretty sure that’s why the Charlotte had to close.
Did a foundation art year in Leicester, was at the Charlotte at least once a week. Loved that place, hadn’t realised it was shut. Is the Polar Bear still going?
Burial. London.
Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights
Never been.
Joy Division - Salford.
