One of our haunts in Soho was Berwick Street market, and there was a good record shop on a corner of the market - name also forgotten, I'm afraid - which, along with Dobell's, was one of my regular calling-in places. Andy was the name of the guy who ran most of Dobell's at that time, and another regular visitor was George Melly, complete with Fedora and leather coat!

On other occasions, Rose-Morris was the music shop of choice, and there were many lovely s/h guitars which I just couldn't afford! I believe Adrian Legge was working as a techie in the back room in those days.

Like many others, I have vivid memories of the all-nighters at the Cousins - kipping on the floor when it all got too tiring. We all got slung out about 4am and traipsed off to the Crypt to kip until the first tube trains of Sunday morning started to run. There was one memorable night at the Cousins when I jammed with Davy Graham Alexis Korner, Mox the harp player, and Duffy Power. Alexis kept everone going by passing out little brown pills from a box, which I refused, being innocent in those days! The guy serving coffee and cracking jokes was Al Stewart.

It seems both ages ago and like yesterday!
