Pub rock was viewed by many as being an immediate precursor to the UK Punk Rock scene. Indeed, many pub rock acts such as Eddie And The Hot Rods went on to find fame in the first wave of British punk, whilst groups such as the 101er's featured Joe Strummer of The Clash , and Kilburn And The High Roads included Ian Dury amongst their members. VENUES . (October 2005)]] In North London , one of the most notable venues for pub rock was the Hope And Anchor pub on Islington 's Upper Street , still a venue (right). Other important pub rock venues included the Pegasus Music Hall - a pub in spite of its name - on Green Lanes , the Dublin Castle in Camden Town , The Pied Bull at The Angel (also gone), Bull and Gate in Kentish Town and the George Robey in Finsbury Park (derelict, likely to be demolished). Many of these pub venues, particularly the Hope and Anchor, became notable for hosting punk rock later. Besides the well-known venues, many other London pubs of the time would hire out the large meeting halls, music halls or ex-billiards rooms they often had available as do-it-yourself gigs for aspiring pub or punk rock musicians.
