- Cream 1967I saw the Cream round about that time in a small club upstairs down Tontine street? Did Tofts move at any time cos I saw the Pretty Things there as well (also about that time?) Les. - frisby1947
- Cream 1967Cream never played Tofts they indeed played Micks Flamenco club situated in Tontine Street. The place is now a club called Pipers and is still trading as such today. - djshax
- So people say Cream never played at Toft's...What's this all about then? Thanks to Simon Brint for this ticket scan... People say it wasn't Tofts, it was Mick's Flamenco Club (more recently Pipers), so did Toft's move more than once? Or did Tofts move the gig? Or did they promote the gig at another club? Anyone got details? Lots more opinion here. -
- Cream 1967I saw Cream in 1967 and they did play at Tofts ive got ticket #4030 it wasnt in tontine st! - peter rabbit

[leave a comment] - 1993 Radiohead @ The Joiners (Thu 18 Feb 1993)
I was not at this Radiohead gig, it's not meant to be showing up in my gigography...
[leave a comment]- Expose ClubRadiohead did play the Penny Theatre in Jan 1993, I promoted it, it was the last ever Exposé night. It was their first ever sell out gig outside of London or Oxford and was rammed to the rafters (we had over 300 people in there). They covered Rhinestone Cowboy as an encore, which I believe they used to do early on but hadn’t done for years (and as far as I am aware) haven’t done since. I have a tape of the gig recorded from the mixing desk. Bands who also played the Penny included The Cranberr - Roger
- 1998 The Dandy Warhols @ The Garage (Thu 12 Feb 1998)
I think this is the last time the keyboardist took her top off on stage.
[leave a comment] - 1998 Primal Scream @ Brixton Academy (Sat 14 Feb 1998)
Some sort of all nighter, we didn't stay the pace. Was this the first gig with Kevin Shields?
[leave a comment] - 2005 The Tears @ Astoria (Wed 16 Feb 2005)
Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler, weren't they in a band together before? One of the NME gigs, support included The Magic Numbers I think but we stayed in the pub and missed them all.
