Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms 147b Albert Rd, Southsea, Hampshire PO4 0JW
Plus Century. I had left Portsmouth area about now, my first shift at nme.com was at Reading Festival on the bank holiday weekend this year. Found this in an old Melody Maker gig guide.
I was not at this one afaik, so if I keep tabs on things I wasn't at it helps me work out where I really was.
