Movies
THE VIEW "Wasted Little DJs" (1965 Records) - shot at Windmill and at T In The Park, June 2006
Television
The bar was used for the Channel 4 drama series NY-LON if you remember it.
Erm. Thought as much.
And MTV played The View's "Wasted Little DJs" video, a lot of which was shot at the Windmill including THAT shot of the dog which C4 also used as an ident.
BANDS - PLEASE READ
Our MySpace inbox is rammed and because of our time:staff ratio it's just a waste of time writing to us via myspace or doing that friend thing hoping we'll have time to listen anymore because within a day your message will be down to page four or something and we'll never see it again.
We can however listen to stuff on myspace but FIRST you should email us at WINDMILLBRIXTON (at) YAHOO (dot) Co (dot) UK with a link to your page. Also, please put your band name in the subject line so we can sort it, none of this dumb shit like "give us a gig".
To repeat...WE DO NOT ACCEPT GIG REQUESTS THROUGH MYSPACE....PLEASE EMAIL US INSTEAD.
And finally for the really fucking slow ones...WE DO NOT ACCEPT GIG REQUESTS THROUGH MYSPACE....EMAIL US INSTEAD.
Meanwhile, we'll mark anything we don't like as SPAM.
If you're interested in playing the 'mill (and we hope you are) then there's more info at our website where there's stuff about booking policy or you could be totally old school and send a demo to: "Band Bookings", Windmill Brixton, 22 Blenheim Gardens, London SW2 5BZ, as we listen to them all. THANKS! THE FRIENDS THING
Anybody can be a friend here except for business that we have no connection with (we've got our own badge supplier, thanks).
Oh, and BANDS......only bands that have played here become our friends. If we don't know you we won't press "accept"
