GUEST,John (Shropshire) Bunjies folk cellar coffee house (138* d) RE: Bunjies folk cellar coffee house 09 Dec 15


In 1973/4, I worked next door to Dobell's Folk and Jazz Music Shop,at 75 Charing Cross Road, where I was always chatting about music with Ray Bolden, and frequently with Doug Dobell himself. My place of work was in what would now be called an Optometrist's practice, an establishment which was named CAPLAN's - and which was owned by the Late Barry Preston. Caplan's and Dobell's had a communal entrance - upon entry into the doorway, one turned Left for Caplan's, or Right for Dobell's. Along with Doug Dobell, Lou Hart was a frequent visitor to Caplan's, as He and Barry were good friends. Lou was a true GENTLEMAN. Doug likewise. I only visited Bunjies a few times, and can add no new core information to this discourse - but recalling my days spent working at Caplan's, and having the good fortune to spend time mingling and occasionally chatting with so many potential musical talents, I have to state that these are now memories which are very dear to me.
