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 |

Like The Eddie which was home for many attendees of 21x21, which has also been converted into flats. |
