An interesting article in the Guardian

It is not every day that I get to read a worthy article about music in an online newspaper. But this one caught my attention for many reasons. One of them was going to a couple of clubs in the late 70's and early 80's to listen to music in total darkness.

That's interesting and Amusing. 30 years ago I and a few friends frequented a Quite nice (upscale possibly) Peeler Bar .
Very comely dancing maidens, decent Beer and decent quality Pub Food.
Three performance stages, one even featured a "shower' .
At least 6! pair of Tannoy DMT 15 's providing the musical background
A winner on Many counts.
Clearly Nothing new except the unfortunate Lack of dancing maidens in the above article.

Now that set-up with the Westminsters is what I call a music cafe! :respect:

Also note the modded Techy in one of the shots. Clearly, the owners have taste ;)

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Linked through from that article to this too: http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/music/8618/are-the-audiophiles-hearing-something-were-not/

Alexis Petrides on audiophiles. Also a fun read.

I think that's what the AOS Cafe would be like. Serving quality SQ, food and drink. That would be well groovy. lol
