yes,Phil was a good guy and became good mate,Harry never left the door and always wore his own dark suit instead of the red Baileys jacket like the rest of us, he was good at stopping a lot of bother at the door being older and more experienced. Another good mate at that time was Frank the bass player from the house band, that was when Mike Allen was the band leader.The good acts of that time were Jimmy Helms,Four Tops,Smokey Robinson,Tommy Cooper[did you hear about the taxi driver and the teabag],Sha waddy waddy used pack the place put were so arrogant and used alot of backing tapes to mime to, who did you enjoy?
