The Melkweg is run by a non-profit organisation that has existed since 1970. It is referenced in the Cracker song "Euro-Trash Girl", the Lagwagon song "Infectious" and in title of the Half Man Half Biscuit song "Prag Vec at the Melkweg". The title of The Church 's song " Under the Milky Way " is also a reference to the Melkweg. Heather Nova 's 1995 EP "Live from the Milky Way" was recorded here as was Spacemen 3's album Performance.
