I am a defunct pub and music venue that started life as The Thames Hotel, an attractive Edwardian building on the banks of River Thames in Windsor. Legend has it that Hendrix and The Stones played in me in the Sixties. But then it's true what people say: if you can remember the Sixties - you weren't really there. I was there, I know - I can't remember a thing.
I remember the Eighties and Nineties pretty well though - I have my own site (that needs some maintainance I grant you) which helps me keep my memory in good nick. That's where you can trawl through the records of who played in me between 1988 and 1995. I don't like to talk about '95 too much though, because that's when those bastards at Ind Coope Breweries knocked down my function room and turned me into a 'firkin'. Oh, the indignity!
I'd like to thank everyone who put their names onto the petitons to keep me open before that fateful event, and also to everyone who has visited my website over the years since. Here you can still read up on the history of the venue and access a database of all the gigs that took place between 1988 and 1995:
