Pubs in Southend

[Rob Noxious]

The mile and a third is the place to go Rob (as we did last year) will be there on Saturday before migrating to see Barna at the Hamlet.

Yes - I liked the beer but I felt the place itself is a little bit soulless.

Another one that's escaped my (limited) radar is a place called Craftwerk Beers in Alexandra Road. From the pics on their FB page, it seems a little bit uninspiring but I see that it's had some good local bands who've played there recently, e.g. Bob Collum & The Welfare Mothers.

Been in craftwerk plenty of times.

Great selection of beers and decent atmosphere. They do freshly made pizzas too, they are delicious.

We were joined on these tracks by honorary Welfare Mother Martin Belmont on the flying Fender Stratocaster....A make of classic guitar...made famous by?

Jonathan Richman?

Unless you're thinking of the Telecaster, then it's Wilko. And then Joe Strummer, of course. Though I'm sure there were plenty of other famous guitarists before them.

And as for Martin Belmont, I enjoyed his guitar-ship with Graham Parker & The Rumour.

Thanks for the info., Tommy - it looks like another one I need to try.

No it`s Buddy Holly - closely followed by Hank Marvin

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

No pubs mate, this Is a dry town

Won't be long before it is.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Won't be long before it is.

Expecting extensive celebrations Saturday evening or just feeling thirsty tonight?

I don't recollect Buddy burning his Fender or playing it with his teeth. Jimi made the Fender infamous, Buddy just played it.

That`s why he made it famous.

Or it could be me because I have got one

Sorry Rich - yes, I should have put you ahead of Jonathan Richman in my earlier suggestion.

 

[Fairport]

Neither as good as Richard Thompson.

Back in the day, used to meet-up with mates at The Nelson pre-match before it was sold off. Nothing really to commend it other than it was convenient and okay for a quick pint or two ..

Yes back in the day I used to go in the Nelson, and the Golden Lion (which I preferred to the Spread)

Do you remember a real ale pub opposite the old bus gararage (where The Old Trout is now )? WE met there 10 years ago the night before our Wembley game .
