Dear all kinks fans The Clissold Arms needs your help, as one of the original venues of The Kinks, we want to recreate the room dedicated to The Kinks, that was sadly taken down by the previous owner.
If any fans out there want to get involved by helping us source some truly original memorabilia, vinyls, photos etc to become a part of this room and help make it better than ever, let us know.
Anything you can part with will become a permanent fixture in our room which you and other fans can marvel at for years and years to come.
Opening to be announced, all fans welcome! many thanks The Clissold Arms

Hi Clissoldarms; is it 60's memorabilia you want, or from any era?

I'll be happy to donate.. I saw the pictures form Olga's FACEBOOK. Brilliant job!!! just leave me a PM, I'm sure I can dig up a few things that could be a nice addition and some unique to the US fans. Smiley from Chicago, USA can't wait to get back there and enjoy the new room... the last owners were so awful to us last time I was over. serves them right to treat Kinks Fans the way they did.

If I lived over there I might think about donating many or some of my items to the room but without being there to check on them I don't totally trust that place after what they did to the item that use to be there...they just evaporated and noone has any idea what happened to them

Krank, You can always make copies of cover art & things like that. Which is what I'll be doing with the vast amount of cool picture sleeves I have! Plus I'll be donating a lot of my photography, through the years and doubles of things that I have in my scrapbook.
...at least send some bumperstickers and a button or two.
It's all GOOD!
