Adding to my previous post,have just spoken to my friend John to tell him about this website.He's reminded me about Malcolm playing in 1960 at Jan Australs in Longlands Road, Sidcup.Australs was a mini theatre/club at which many local folk, blues players, just starting used to play.Keith Richards before his Stones days was at Sidcup art School and used to sit watching Malcolm's every note during those sessions at Australs. His autobiography Life has an interesting chapter about his life in Sidcup and its part in the beginnings of folk and country music in England.Strangely he doesnt mention malcolm but talks about Wizz Jones and Michael Ross.Does anyone know what happened to them? He also reminded me that another reason for Malcolm and Carol hiding away in Cornwall was so that he could avoid national service whichwas just coming to its end.After they were married they went to Europe and busked around the south of france and paris before coming back and starting the Trio with Mick.
