CATWEAZLE
  

first Catweazle in Jude the Obscure Matt Sage MC

When the first Catweazle was in Jude the Obscure i'm not sure, but this was something that Matt barranged with Noel, the landlord, an amazing Irishman with a passion for culture. He took over the decrepit Prince of Wales, Oxford's last real spit and sawdust pub, did it up and named it after Thomas Hardy's novel, and he later started Far Fron the Madding Crowd in Friars Entry too. Had he lived longer we might have had a pint in Tess of the D@Urbevilles or the Mayor of Casterbridge. Anyway Noel enforced a total hush during acts, and the first note I have of performing there was on January 10th 1996, when i wore my green wellies and did a sketch of a posh country type complaining about the protestors on the Newbury by-pass.
