Rockstar writes to council about 'noisy' music pub

Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie - whose rock and roll antics are legendary - reportedly wrote to his local council about late-night noise from a pub near his home.

According to the Independent, Gillespie joined a campaign with his neighbours against extending the opening hours of the Alma in Islington - because it plays loud music late into the night.

The sound was of a very high frequency which reverberated into my bedroom and my children's bedroom. I found the repetitiveness disturbing and I was unable to sleep​Letter reportedly seen by Independent.

The paper, which claims to have seen a copy of the letter, said Gillespie complained about the pub "playing recorded music at an unacceptable volume past 12 o'clock".​

Gillespie, now a devoted father of two young sons reportedly said: "There was a live percussionist playing along with the records, the sound was of a very high frequency which reverberated into my bedroom and my children's bedroom. I found the repetitiveness disturbing and I was unable to sleep because of it."​
