I am working on a history of Soho, London, in the 1950s and early 60s and would welcome any more information on Martin Winsor and Redd Sullivan. I knew them and worked with them but there are so many more stories and anecdotes concerning the pair of them that I would love to hear. Funny stories, personal memories of things said or done. Impressions of either of them -physically, temperamentally, as performers? Anecdotes of Soho in general at the time - the pubs cafes, clubs, characters, bookshops, etc. Any memories and impressions that will help bring the place alive and why it was such an interesting and important place in the 50s and 60s.
Your first visit? Your residency there?
Names of people who were around in Soho at the time -not just the singers but local colourful characters such as Iron-foot Jack, Quentin Crisp, King David etc.
The Star Restaurant? The Nucleus? The Partisan? The SkiffleCellar? Jimmie's Cafe? The A&A? The Gs,
Get your thinking caps on, and trawl your memories. In a few years many of these memories will be lost forever! You can email me at [storyart@aol.com]. as well as here on Mudcat.
This won't take as long as the Bert Lloyd biog - I haven't got that many years to spare!
Wishing you all that's best -Dave
