A Grade II-listed live venue at 568–578 Christchurch Road in Bournemouth, Dorset, opened in 1895 as the Grand Pavilion Theatre. Renamed the Boscombe Grand, then the Boscombe Hippodrome for over 50 years, and later The Royal Ballrooms, it hosted Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie and more through the 1960s and early 70s, and remains a live entertainment room. Transvision Vamp were formed in Putney in 1986 by guitarist and primary songwriter Nick Christian Sayer and lead singer Wendy James, and spent the late 1980s as one of the loudest pop-rock propositions going — ten hits on the UK singles charts and considerable success in Australia, with James attracting media attention for a sexually charged, rebellious image.
