Had to travel to Coventry earlier this week (for my son to sit an exam) and found myself with a couple of hours to spare. Popped into "Just Dropped In" to see what they had in the way of 50s/60s originals without any real expectations of what to expect. Well...where to start with this absolute...

I think its better that way that nobody knows about just the muso types that know .There loads of gig there and and the Record shop at Fargo this is best era now for Coventry's music since Ska in the 70s and Rave in the late 80s early 90s .

Which bands where you in mmttww ?

This lot where there last week . Was a fantastic night .

The best venue in Coventry by a mile very small Sound is great and loud , Drinks are cans and bottles no draft (pint Red Stripe £5.10) . 2 rooms one as you come in with the bar then through to the stage area . Seen so many great bands there over the years .

I was watching the highlights this week a was thinking the same the press area is so much space wasted and just looks wrong compared to other newer stadiums . And we sit bellow the balcony and was amazed to see how empty it is /was .

If you have never been over that side of the ground before it would be a good experience . But I think you can find much better value for money doing something else .

Save the money and go somewhere nice instead like your favourite restaurant.

In a closed environment like prison's they can't keep drugs out . So good luck with the Borders !

So if they sold off the water company' gas BT postal service rail and all the social housing how much has that cost us ?

It don't really work like that .

Might be time to fill your boots
