It was with a heavy heart the AZBarLondon.com crew travelled up to the Boogaloo in Highgate on Friday night. But even Jezza would have to admit, the show must go on. And what a show. Instead of the usual banter about one of London’s finer drinking spots we’ve put together a little something especially for England’s favourite prankster.
RIP.
The sad news reached us last night that Jeremy Beadle has passed away after fighting a series of illness over the past few years. All the big news outlets in the UK carry obits today so we won’t rehash that. Just to say The Hackney Hook was a big hero here at Keepingitfake HQ. I think he featured in our first ever podcast way back in 2004. He’ll be missed by all.
The photo above sums up what the Beade meant to so many, I think we’ll be doing a special tribute tomorrow night for him. How apt that we’re at the letter B. So if you’re up at Boogaloo for the show, watch out, we’ll B about. And we’ll be Framing you.
Boogaloo. A lot of you thought we wouldn’t have the cheek to keep up this epic pub trawl after our first episode. You were wrong. And this Friday we’re going for the bridesmaid letter of the alphabet.
A is the eternal lead-off hitter, but it’s our feeling here at azbarlondon.com that it’s B where the party really starts. And there may not be a better party pub in London than the Boogaloo on the Archway Road.
