Who Convention and Shepherds Bush
I attended the Who convention at Bush Hall on Saturday 1.4.06. The day started with an unplanned pint with Matt in The Moon On The Hill at 10.30am having bumped into him at the post office. A very good pint too!
Leaving mid afternoon my brother & I got to Bush Hall about three in time for Irish Jack telling some Who related stories. Who's Who then played Quadrophenia which for some reason seemed to drag a bit.
We then retreated to the Goldhawk pub for a bargain £3.40 pint of Kuppers Krolsch before heading back to the venue for Simon Townshends Casbah Club. This was the highlight with Roger Daltrey wading his way through the audience and then having an improptu performance of Behind Blue Eyes and Substitute. After them we did a few more 'Irish' pubs at the West side of Uxbridge Road before seeing the Wholigans tribute who did a 'best of' set before smashing their instruments during My Generation at the end. All good fun!
