Mayflower Club
1972

I was looking at the Mayflower Club artefacts and comments with interest, so I did a Google search and found the above photo of the club which was taken in the early 1970s when it was called the Southern Sporting Club on the link below.

I only went to the Mayflower twice, once to see Ultravox (with Midge Ure) August 1980 and then Crass in October of the same year. I remember the Crass gig quite vividly, especially Annie Anxiety getting gobbed in the mouth and slamming down her mic and storming off stage in shock/disgust and after only one song ('Nagasaki Nightmare' I think it was?) of Crass being on stage, all hell broke loose and someone got bottled near the front of the stage. My sister and I and a couple of my mates didn't hang around much longer after that, the police had just entered the building on our way out.
