You did'nt think you'd get away without me haveing my tupence worth did you lads. Well my brother Kevin confirms that he saw Paul Simon at the Jazz Club, it was just befor he wrote Homeward Bound on a railway station in Manchester, so his biography says. I saw Kenny Ball, Chris Barber, The Taveners 5, The Spinners, ( no not the ones from Detroit ) Champion Jack Dupree, ( we were pobably up there the same night Wyn ). Yes it certainly was a great place, Im pretty sure that Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee played there two, I wonder who booked all these artists, there must be someone still around, who has some information, They moved the stage around to, sometimes in the middle, then sometimes up the far end, Kevin & his wife worked behind the bar, for a while. Used to be a lot travel from Burnley to go there. Ill ask Kevin , see if he can remember who the manager or Steward was.
