We were stuck. We had nowhere to drink, nowhere to call home from home. We had spent the last few years running club nights, spending every Saturday night on the dancefloors and in the corridors of Turnmills in London’s then quiet Clerkenwell area. Then spending every weekday in the recovery position, moving from shit house pub to crappy lifeless bar. Nowhere seemed to play any decent music, every pub was either a pit or had been buffed up with all the same details that every gastro pub in London had, down to the Moby CD soundtrack. After one drunken evening back at the Heavenly office too many, we decided the only way we would ever stop complaining about how crap everything was in town was if we built our own place. Six months, a lot of head scratching and a whole bunch of drinking later and the first Social was up and running and ready for action.

Movies:

Friday Skiver Film Club in association with Tartan Films presents:
DECEMBER 1st: END OF THE CENTURY - a feature documentary about The Ramones
www.endofthecentury.com
This absorbing documentary by Michael Gramaglia and Jim Fields traces the history of the seminal punk rock band in exhaustive detail.
Stephen Holden, The New York Times
A punk Last Waltz.
Scott Foundas, Variety
A fun, midnight-madnessy documentary about the cult band by New York first-timers Jim Fields and Michael Gramaglia.
The Washington Post
The film holds the viewer in a headlock...End of the Century is an important piece of music history.
Sarah Jo Marks, International Documentary Magazine
Bopped into a special screening of End of the Century at CAA's Beverly Hills office, and I am still pining. The bittersweet Ramones documentary laid it all on the line: the good, the bad and the ugly truth of life in the rock-star fast lane. Along for the celluloid ride were guitarist Johnny Ramone, Nicolas Cage, Anthony Kiedis and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers; Billie Joe and Mike Dirnt from Green Day; Tim Armstrong from Rancid and the Transplants; as well as Slim Jim Phantom from the Stray Cats and Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols. But the biggest stars in the house were the ghosts of Joey and Dee Dee Ramone. R.I.P. (Rock in peace).... And word to Clash lovers: End of the Century features Joe Strummer's final interview (R.I.P. once more).
