Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure : An Indie Odyssey in Peterborough
Peterborough Indie/Club scene - Book - by Pete Elderkin
(2024)
Growing up in Peterborough, voted the ‘worst place to live in England
& the UK’, certainly had its challenges. But a love for Nick Cave’s
band and a passion for indie music launched the author, Pete Elderkin,
on a series of extraordinary events while following a dream to reach
that holy grail for rock groups, a BBC Radio One John Peel session.
Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure details the ups and downs of being in the wrong
place and time while trying to DJ and run an exciting alternative music
club in a what seemed a hostile, provincial environment.
This
is a wry, self-depreciating memoir set over eleven years and telling the
true story of The Sugar Club and how it, improbably, became one of the
longest running nightclubs in the UK. It captures, with first-hand
contributors, the fun experiences and social history of the unique 1990s
and 2000s, when the grunge and Britpop scenes came from out of nowhere
to the forefront of the UK music scene. "I loved it. A beautiful,
big-hearted book.
Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure is a love letter to a
lost time when music was at the centre of the universe." Tony Parsons,
journalist, broadcaster and author.
