DERELICT LONDON PRESENTS: LONDON’S DEAD PUBS – BY PAUL TALLING – OUT NOW!

Derelict London Presents – ‘London’s Dead Pubs’. Following from London’s Lost Music Venues Vol 1 & 2, author Paul Talling turns his attention to the capital's lost drinking dens. If you enjoyed his previous books, you'll enjoy this one too. Read about The Ruskin Arms in Manor Park where the Small Faces used to rehearse; The Star in Croydon where Jimi Hendrix, Captain Beefheart, Cream, and Fleetwood Mac all played; and Putney's White Lion who hosted punk and new wave bands including X-Ray Spex, Tubeway Army, Crass, Monochrome Set and The UK Subs. In addition to the many music-related anecdotes Paul broadens this book out into an alternative, sticky-carpeted history of London, viewed from the bar of some of its most iconic (and now sadly gone) drinking dens.

A well-stocked jukebox, bar snacks, and pints of Whitbread, Fuller's, Truman's or Courage on tap. Nothing quite matches the atmosphere of a London pub. But since 2004, one in five pubs across Greater London have closed. This book pays tribute to many of the great public drinking places we've lost, while also celebrating some pubs that have returned from the dead.

Paul Talling is best known for the 'Derelict London' website and has been giving guided walks across all parts of London for over 20 years. With over 200 original photos of pubs in all states of dereliction plus some that have luckily come back from the dead, London's Dead Pubs laments the drinking spaces we've lost and also points to places where it's still possible to drink in the (usually) convivial atmosphere of a great London boozer today.

THEE HEADCOATEES - Girlsville (bonus edition LP)

**OUT NOW**

First UK pressing since the Hangman Records 1991 vinyl edition!

Now updated to include two extra tracks, their first two singles – ‘Headcoat Girl’ and ‘Davey Crockett’!

“There we were, sitting round a kitchen table coming up with ideas and tunes for Girlsville. ‘Wild Man’ - wow! ‘Round Every Corner’ (written for us by Billy), ‘First Plane Home’, a Kinks cover always played in the live set, as was ‘Meet Jacqueline’ (apparently penned by Albert Hammond, odd!) Every track was a winner, I think. Then we went to conquer the world with our albums Have Love Will Travel, Bozstik Haze (not purple!), and Punk Girls plus numerous 7-inch crackers. The fun we had until Here Comes Cessation. Well so we thought….” MISS LUDELLA BLACK – JAN 2026

Fabienne’s recording of ‘I’m Gonna Haunt You’ (from 2004's No Time For Sorrows) was featured in the second season of the massive BBC show Killing Eve opening her music up to a wider audience.

This is her first album to be recorded at Gizzard Studios by Ed Deegan (ex Toe Rag Studios) at the controls and co-produced by Delsol and Deegan. It features a crack team of musicians including Thomas Gardner, Carwyn Ellis, and Bradley Burgess, and Rupert Brown. The album mixes new original songs with covers of songs by artists including Silver Apples, The Count Five, Sharon Tandy, and Francoise Hardy.
