That's AMM at the Roundhouse not Roadhouse. So called as it is an ex railway turntable shed used to re-orientate locomotives. The venue for many "happenings" in 1960's North London.

My bad. I have made that correction. Thank you for pointing it out.

Another label that crosses paths with the English improvisers is/was Emanem esp psi which was curated by Evan Parker. Since Martin' Davidson's passing someone should get that catalog on Bandcamp like Leo Records. Finally, Ogun is another label by a jazz musician Harry Miller and featured many English improvisers.

Lovely piece, as usual, about one of my favourite labels. It reminds me that I really need to get that Bailey/Honsinger album. The falling out between Evan Parker and Derek Bailey is a sad part of the tale too.

I hope you had a great trip here
