Rock and Roll island-Eel Pie Island on 10:26 - Mar 28 with 985 views | francisbowles | Think it hosted it's last gig in 1969 so I missed it by about five years. I used to walk from Hounslow West to the Winning Post in Twickenham for gigs around 1974/5 saw Thin Lizzy there four times as well as Heavy Metal Kids (Gary Holton), Sutherland Brothers and Quiver, Budgie etc. Great small venue, really close to the band, not too busy, although the crowd got bigger every time for Phil and da boys, and not squalid as a modern building. Still get a sense of nostalgia as I drive past it and have even stayed there a couple of times as it is now a Premier Inn. | | | |

I saw the Heavy Metal Kids there a few times too. I loved 'em. Good venue too. I also saw Manfred Mann's Earthband. I thought I was going to see Thin Lizzy, but I was a week early. | | | |
