I had some great nights in the Sugawn, when we were broke someone would get us a drink there was a gentleman there called "Spain" who made sure we were ok, the music was wonderful, the friendship and the fun. I heard Paul Brady there, Silly Wizard, the Fureys and of course the kindest banjo player in London, Mick O'Connor was a stalwarth member of the Sugawn Folk who kept the kettle boiling every weekend. Gerry O'Connor and his wife ran the place, I made friends there that I still have and cherish thirty tears later. There was a man called Ned Grant who always made sure a travelling musicien had a place to sleep and a breakfast. There were two Billy Connolly's no relation to the Big Un and a schelpe of Irish Nurses from Whips Cross who gave us hot dinners on Sundays. It was a home from home for me.
