Joe Meek Night
[8pm / Fri 2nd / £5/4]
“You could tell a Joe Meek record a mile off”, Jello Biafra said once. Forty years after his tragic death, the visionary music producer gets the Cube treatment with a one-night-only live music and film special. While Cube DJs spin Meek rarities in the bar, local types perform tributes onstage (featuring Leadtowine channeling the spirit of Meek with a plethora of homemade
instruments), all interspersed with filmic evidence of the
man who brought UK rock 'n' roll to the US a year before The Beatles with The Tornados' 'Telstar'.
