Albert was indeed a regular at the Painters Arms club (Coseley)- and had some cracking songs -It was a singaround club. Taffy Thomas MC'd and would do a song first then ask 'Which way shall we go round the room - (usually left!) and he asked everybody when he came to them if they would like to do a song or tell a story or a joke or whatever....We had guests occasionally but never advertised in advance - one of them, Willie Scott (a shepherd from the Borders) stayed with me and demonstrated how to control dogs with whistling - late at night and deafening! - and he was well into his 80s... Some of the residents/regulars included Pete Coe and Chris Richards (later Coe), John and Sue Kirkpatrick ( when they lived briefly in W-ton), Mick Bramich, Bill Caddick, Dan Fone, Woody Woodhall and Brian Clift and lots more. I took over running the club when Magic Lantern decamped to Suffolk - It all went well for quite a while until a new gaffer wanted to use the room for darts matches -(how many times have new gaffers caused folk clubs to move????) We moved to the Old Mill at Ruiton but it was never the same, and didn't last. From the club also came Painters Morris (men) and Holdens Goldens (women)
