How South London gave the world lover’s rock
A couple of weeks ago a documentary called The Story Of Lover’s Rock received a limited release in a handful of London cinemas – and it took them all by surprise.Most only booked it for one night, but quickly extended the run when their initial screenings sold out well in advance.In South London, where lovers rock was born, both the Ritzy in Brixton and the Streatham Odeon had to turn people away on the opening night and ended up scheduling additional shows to cope with demand.
