Rick Bryant on Rough Justice

Rick Bryant’s glory days at the Gluepot

For musicians, playing the Gluepot meant you'd made the grade. When you actually live in pubs for a period of years, moving every couple of days, with the occasional respite of a fortnight in one place, the phrase "a really good pub" has a resonance it cannot have for those of you who live in bungalows, baches or bijou maisonettes.

Rick Bryant, 1983: Soul Satisfaction

“I’ve been singing those sad, sad songs. Sad songs, all I know” – Otis Redding
