The Bridge House Pub in Canning Town London E16 was the premier pub rock venue of the 70's and the first pub in the world with its own record label. edit
I believe the pub was knocked down years ago! One of the best albums put out by bridgehouse records was the Mods Mayday ' 79 album but after i bought the album I was disappointed to see many comments on online forums claiming that none of the bands on the record ever received any royalties.
When I saw your news item, I was surprised to hear of a pub with its own record label! Unfortunately it seems difficult to make a pilgrimage now, but if some VIPs wanted to organise a meeting, this or the Roundhouse might br a good place (if we don't invade Virgin!) How's Ant these days? OK. I'll give some loving!
There's a good article about this famous pub in our music news section: www.absoluteradio.co.uk
