And to add, thank god you are creating posts like this Mark. You really have such a wonderful way of describing what we all feel around this subject. Pauline is a true grassroots legend that so few people are aware of. That’s how she would probably like it to stay, in it for the love and not the plaudits. Another great observation Mark🙏👍

This is great. Thanks for all this. I used to organise shows at The Old Railway in Digbeth, Birmingham. The place is gone now but I can’t agree more “culture matters, because people need somewhere to gather, because music needs somewhere to begin.”

What an amazing woman. And the sandwich shop joke made me laugh out loud.
