Good question. Erm left to right:
Red Eye (unity sound), Ruddy’s son, Eastman (Kool FM, Jungle Fever - at school with Ruddy), man from Hackney Archives, Spencer from British Association of sound systems.
Also contributions from Flinty Badman and Wayne Marshall and some proper characters.

ah i thought it might be Eastman! DJ Ron often mentioned Ruddy Ranks as a friend on the radio - never with any clue as to what Ruddy was actually up to/did - only time ive heard the name before...
sounds like a good night

I'm pretty sure The Mernaid was still closed the last time I walked past. And it was closed well before Covid so

Turns out his name is Etienne Joseph? He seemed like a good guy - mind you all the Hackney Archives people seem lovely…
Yeh... that was when I lived there (not saying that is linked in any way ofc)
I think it was the stretch from lower Clapton through to upper that got the name though, not just lower

The Mermaid had extensive water damage when the basement got flooded well before lockdown 1 , I think they had insurance issues as well. It is supposed to be reopeningThe Billet's in there so marty21 is obviously a super hipster.

Yeah, my hairdresser lived right across the road and was a regular and I remember her telling me all about it at the time.The Mermaid had extensive water damage when the basement got flooded well before lockdown 1 , I think they had insurance issues as well. It is supposed to be reopening

Upper was in the murder mile too, pretty much stretched from the Shell Garage down to Lower Clapton.

and I walk all over the place . I like A Slice of Blue , although I've only had beers in there, lovely viking looking manager there (although he is actually Portuguese, just looks like a viking 
) .It's from July 2020, so they've probably changed their names at least three times since then...Some of those places I've not heard of
I got a half price pizza there in their opening week offer, then it had to shut for lockdown and I never went back yet. It was nice pizza I think... there is a lot of nice pizza round there thoSome of those places I've not heard of
Hah, went there once and the waitress was completely off her face but still tried to memorise our order. There were six or eight of us and she kept coming back to ask about stuff because she couldn't remember what we'd ordered. No idea why she didn't just write it down.

I loved that place ! Real pity it closed , the owner told me it wasn't making enough money , I still see her about, I think she's working at a restaurant in Broadway Market.
Tbf on that ^ occasion, they forgot to charge us for a bottle of wine. We didn't realise till later on (would've pointed it out at the time if we'd noticed). We also would've stayed and had puddings and stuff but we were a bit over the pointless interruptions by the waitress so we went somewhere else.
