"There was often a sing song in the Three Tuns, Blackheath.....a fine 'alternative' pub in those days."
I know it well being born actually on Blackheath.
I lived right next door to the Three Tuns,my mother had an Antique shop,there in Tranquil Vale,and prior to that one called 52 two steps,just across the road.
Dave Bryant ran a club in Blackheath,but I think it was just beyond the railway station,up the hill in the direction of Lee Green.
The Tower folk club moved to the Three Blackbirds,and became the Blackbirds folk club was run by Rip Rippingale [the singing railwayman]and Ticklers Jam, I was a Resident, it had been started by Dymphna.
