The idea for "CHURCH" was conceived in a public house back in October 1979. Known as "The Golden Lion" in Fulham Broadway, the likes of a fresh faced Elvis Costello, Paul Young and Annie Lennox could often be seen performing here. Initially, only a few Aussies and Kiwis would gather at these Sunday sessions where a stripper provided the only entertainment.
As time went on, word spread among Aussie and Kiwi travellers and the number of people dedicated to this Sunday drinking session grew. "THE CHURCH" had been born. Pub manager - High Priest Sean Sullivan - introduced a comedian to guide his faithful flock.
With its ensuing mix of wit and whimsey, "THE CHURCH" became an institution among fun-loving antipodeans, providing a haven for its disciples who were wanting to have fun and get pissed in a country far removed from the sun-drenched shores of home. |
