The branch of "Broadmead" at 2.17 on Union Str brought back fond memories of when I worked for the firm, starting at the Gloucester Rd branch, and moving on eventually managing branches around the city and Gloucester and Bath. However, at Union Str I was still just a salesman, The manager at the time was George Baumgart, and upstairs were some wonderful unused wood panelled rooms in pristine condition, they were beautiful, a sight to behold. All gone now, of course. This would have been around 1967 when I was there.
re: the bit at the end, the most bizarre place I've been for a gig was a clothes shop in Cabot's Circus. A fine electronic outfit called Chew Lips playing in the downstairs of Cargo in front of about 20 people. They were great (there's an LP on Kitsuné) but then they signed to a major and it all went a bit tits up. Edit - first singles were in Kitsuné but according to Wikipedia the album was on "Family". I've never heard of it either. Maybe that was the US release.

"A do it yourself money machine" And you could get a whole £10, brilliant
To be fair, a tenner got you a house and paid for your servants for a few years back in them days.

St Michael PANTS!

Could be Asthma!

No out of town shopping & district retail parks with acres of free parking, in those days.
