Hoping someone can help. There was a get together before the gig at a pub which was owned by a fan who played Sparks music during the afternoon for us

Can anyone remember the name of the pub ?

It was walking distance to the venue, a bit off the beaten track but a classic old boozer

Were there lots of Stag motifs?
I think it was John Dignan’s pub…he’s a big Sparks fan, I’m not sure if he’s still in the hospitality business as he went travelling for a bit.

I wish I could remember Alex, bugging the heck out of me. I'm even starting to wonder if it was another gig in London. Wasn't any of the 21 x 21 but it was a saturday and in the 2004/2006 era

I was there ... can't remember the name of the pub or where it was exactly. I'm thinking it may have been in Borough or somewhere else in upper Southwark?

The pub was The Roebuck (now converted into 3 houses).
John sends his love, regards and thanks for remembering him!
He is still Sparks mad!!!

Thankyou Alex !

Feared that was the sort of place ripe for conversion. A great day. Travelled down from Manchester and was worried it might be the last time they'd tour. Oh me of little faith
