Happy 36th Gav. 1979 was the peak of the Golden Era.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

Well ive just been there... went to the Ipswich Mall. Battle of the bands is on as advertised.. small record fair in the centre. Further down is a memorabilia place...

.. which is closed!

Clearly says 12 noon start for qualifying rounds.. I was there at 1.30pm and walked up and down till 2pm.

... Still, its closed.

My step son works just up the road and he told me the guy only has one machine in there which was a KISS so he didn't bother going in to play it as the theme is a bit lame..LOL

I asked what colour the machine is and he said....BLACK!!!

So I was pretty keen to get in there and play the new KISS machine... looked through the window and couldn't see it as....

..it is closed..

.. all lights are OFF

.. as in not open.

Don't ask me  !@# !@# !@# !@#

I wonder what the battle of the bands was like?
