Patti Smith at London Hackney Ocean, Sat 18 Aug
‘’I like Hackney. I’m here, ain’t I?’’ Indeed, the Hackney Ocean is nice. It’s not a strictly rock & roll venue, it’s a little bit more upscale than that (and it’s all new and shiny). Ask for water and you get it with ice, a black straw, and lime. Class-ay. The glass is plastic, but neverthel»
The Wonder Stuff at London Hackney Ocean, Fri 31 Aug
