I went to the club when it was at the Prince of Wales. I went back to Brum for a weekend ca 1984. It was in a room somewhere behind Aston University and was warned by the Old Crown-ites (then at The Longboat) that it had 'been taken over by poets.' I went anyway, and found what they said to be true! The 'elderly' fellow sounds like Bob Roberts, or Johnny Doughty. Not there in my day. I still have the BTMD T-shirt somewhere (I don't think it was chucked in a putsch!)
