Hi Bredda,
Yeah, another legend gone, but his music remains.
Would you mind telling us more about your early days at Les Cousins? Who did you see play and who impressed you?
In case you are interested, this web site features 'lost' London music venues, including Les Cousins. No Ronnie Scotts though.
