Reviews ECIS #21 , June 1985 PORTLANDS CLUB, CENTRAL LONDON : 25 APRIL 1985. Hardly your typical Elvis gig this, but we’ve learnt to expect the unexpected this year: tacky ads in the rock press proclaiming the arrival of The Pope Of Pop. Some wacky new late-night venture calling itself the Choka-Doobie Club. A tiny venue of rare elegance and intimacy - situated just off the Euston Road in the basement of ‘Portlands’ -that filled up in minutes with familiar faces (Tracey Thorn, Richard Thompson, Roddy Frame, Andy Kershaw), music hacks and others in the know. more... Photos Memorabilia Tickets, stage setlist, posters, programs, etc. Recordings Official releases: None Audience recordings: An audience recording exists. Audio files (FLAC) - quality: B- Artwork
