Tangent Books has acquired the remaining stock of The Granary Club: The Rock years 1969 to 1988 from previous publisher Broadcast Books. The book is now available for just £5.99 including postage from www.tangentbooks.co.uk until the end of July. The book normally retails at £14.95
Compiled by Al Read – one of the team that started rock events at The Granary in 1968 – and painstakingly researched, the book lists the bands that played the famous Bristol venue between 1968 and the final gig on 11th August 1988.
Al Read was a DJ at the Granary between 1968 and 1982 and the book is a compelling record of Bristol’s premier rock venue . Open its pages to find Mott The Hoople on October 19th, 1970; The Cortinas supporting Looney Tunes on Novemebr 23rd 1976 or Man on August 25th1983.
Most of the entries are accompanied by profiles and there are several first-had accounts of life at the club, which many of us recall being less than salubrious and never dull.
Granary Club: The Rock Years 1969 to 1988 is essential reading for anyone interested in Bristol’s musical heritage.
