We have been wanting to open it for quite a long time, he said. Our focus has always been on the Hippodrome but lockdown has given us more time to look at other projects. We feel there is a gap in the market and a chance to help some smaller operators that have been doing some great things during lockdown. We are looking forward to it, but very apprehensive. We are putting a lot on the line.

Classic Tracks: The Bangles ‘Walk Like An Egyptian’ Producer: David Kahne

‘Walk Like An Egyptian’ was a huge hit for the Bangles, but it all started with a demo mix‑up and some very unusual percussion.
One of the biggest hits of the ’80s (and a staple of rock radio ever since), the Bangles’ ‘Walk Like An Egyptian’ was instantly everywhere upon its initial release in 1986, topping the US singles charts and reaching number three in the UK. But behind its driving beat, quirky hooks and sunshiny indie pop vibe lay the difficult and fractious story of its creation. At the time, it may have been the commercial high watermark for the Bangles Susanna Hoffs (vocals/rhythm guitar), Vicki Peterson (vocals/lead guitar), Debbi Peterson (drums/vocals) and Michael Steele (bass/vocals) but in truth some members of the band hated the track.

There’s another one gone.
Last weekend was a Bank Holiday affair, yet again blighted by lousy weather, dull and breezy with a wind fit to freeze those proverbial brass monkeys, all of whom had strict orders to stay indoors for fear of something vital becoming brittle and dropping off.
In the past, when such dismal bank holiday weekends were forecast, we used to offer up expressions of sympathy for seasonal traders who depended on fair weather to beef up trade sufficient to see them through the bleak days of winter.
