I’m really looking forward to my first visit to the Roundhouse. It’s got some history, and some trace elements of Foxx already.
Here’s James Mason in the superb documentary
The London Nobody Knows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gg0kC1jNsQ – sadly this is the only clip I can find online and The Roundhouse is 1m30s or so in.
As mentioned in the clip, Pink Floyd played there in 1966, and so did Unit Delta Plus at
Million Volt Light and Sound Rave in 1967…
Unit Delta Plus was BBC Radiophonic Workshop’s Delia Derbyshire, Brian Hodgson and Peter Zinovieff who came together as UDP to create electronic music and also promote its use in television, film and advertising
The
Million Volt Light and Sound Rave event took place over two nights (January 28th and February 4th 1967) and included a performance of tape music by Unit Delta Plus, as well as a playback of the legendary
Carnival of Light, a fourteen minute sound collage assembled by Paul McCartney around the time of the Beatles'
Penny Lane sessions.
