John....wasn't Bruce also a debt collector or balif? He used to run the Phoenix folk club in Oxford Square before it moved (1968/69?) He once gave me free tickets to the Dubliners at the Royal Albert Hall as I had worked for him selling spare tickets for the gig.If you knew Bruce did you know Trevor Warr/Wharr ? And or Brian Flax?
Davyr. The Melting pot moved from Streatham to Blackhorse Road at the bottom of Lambeth Walk in about 1969. I had left London to go to York in 1971, so it must have moved back. At that time of 3 day weeks etc I used to go to The York , Harrogate and Ripon clubs.
