"I remeber the melting pot very well. I went most weeks when it moved to Blackhorse road. My mate Pat and I would most often do a couple of songs or more there each week. There were two brothers that ran it. Steven? and ? I rather liked their political affiliations"

Erik, when I used to go to the Melting Pot in Streatham in the early 70s, it was run by a bloke called Chris Potts, who belonged to the Young Communists.

When did it move away, do you know? It was still in Streatham during the 3 Day Week in 1974, as I remember being there during a candlelit session in the middle of a power cut.

Was the guitarist you remember Simon Prager? He certainly played at the Melting Pot with Steve Rye on more than one ocaasion.
