Roof Dog: A Short History Of The Windmill (Will Hodgkinson)

Will Hodgkinson
Roof Dog: A Short History Of The Windmill


As it says a quick run through of the Windmill pub atop Brixton Hill which is possibly the best venue in the universe all things considered. The writer interviews or landlord and the guy who books bands and gives an excellent account of why this place is special and why places like it are an essential part of our social fabric. And why they need saving given that they can't open due to Covid. I like the comparison to the Hammersmith Clarendon Hotel which I used to go to with Olly and saw a storming set by Big Black for their farewell UK tour, with Wire on for the encore.
