Great to see Tanner's Hatch is still going strong. I used to go to regularly in the 1970s, and made a terrible name for myself by playing the two most hated instruments in the world - the banjo and the accordion.

Great to see that lots of the people I met there are still going - I remember Tony Harbour, Carol Gardener, Andy Ive, Geoff Chapman, Tim Dowd, Sean, Babs, Anna, Jenny(Tits), Guernsey Pete, Steve Spurling, Carol Tomlyn, Heritage... and Graham Peddie of course. I remember the New Year's eve barbecue out the back the night that the UK joined the Common Market, and a fertility rite organised by Tony Harbour using a coca cola tin for percussion...

If I wasn't currently at the opposite corner of Europe, I'd come and visit at the drop of a hat. If you guys are there, it would be great to see or hear from you again...
