The Rocket was a valiant but doomed attempt at a proper Norvern Sowl venue in London, if you

went (and I'm guessing you did) it could never attract enough real NS fans (they live up norf why

would you travel darn to Lunden wear its all expensive and all that when you have the real

thing on your doorstep) and it got filled up with non NS students who treated like any other

London club and its days were numbered.

Had some great nights there, Sandi Sheldon being one of them.

thanks for that. I do remember a lot of youngsters (nothing wrong with that of course) attending. was a huge place with a seperate room nearby for different moozik. i also saw some bloke/singer from the 5 stairsteps?? sing live one night.

but the most memorable thing for me was actually being able to park right outside on the road (A1) and going in to an 'all night' shop next door . i'd never seen a shop open after 10pm before

Best night for me when I arrived a little early and the guys on

the door asked "Chris can you do us a favour ?" being the friendly Lundena that I am replied "Yeah sure" ......................................................what was the favour ?

Chauffeur Sandi Sheldon around all night

sandi sheldon and the orlons were great nites,,,shame there boycotted on at the time of the venue s,,they deserved better and bigger audiences

Found a couple of my old membership cards from London, when i was a young, i mean when i was a younger girl

We used to get charged £20 to park in the car park for scenesville, but it was worth it, always a superb night with a cracking bunch of very good friends!

Went there too, boy what a place that Dome was, I though the Torch was a dodgy place in a scary

neighbourhood but the Dome trounced it on all counts !! Just talking about Matt Jahans the other day.

I remember another scary place

Sitting outside in the car waiting to go into the Mousetrap all-nighter at Finsbury Park, we heard two gunshots & then saw a police van pull up next to us, then the police jumped out & ran into a store up the road & dragged some chap out onto the street floor
