Press and Awards: The Tin in the Papers
Cuttings the venue collected in 2003 and 2004, from the Kent Messenger and The Face to NME and the national reviews of the Libertines’ reunion gig.
Originally published 2003–2004
From the Tin archive. Between 2003 and 2006 this domain carried the website of the Tap ’n’ Tin, a three-floor music pub on Railway Street in Chatham. This page keeps one of its items as a historical record. The magazine that publishes the site today is independent and has no connection with the venue, its owners or promoters; contact details have been removed, and pictures lost from the old site have been replaced with credited photographs.

The venue kept a page of its press. Two further reviews of the reunion gig, one of them an interview with the band, appeared in The Independent; the links on the old page no longer work.
