Yes of course the grey cock who had Charles Parker, think Radio Ballads rather than Yardbird, involved at some level or other. That was the place where they enquired my influences at the door - I was stuck for an answer but said, Ralph Mctell - the fisherman's smock selling tickets said very superciliously - sorry we DO have to draw the line somewhere....they booked decent guests though - I saw Peggy and Ewan there a few times.

Are you say, The Old Crown in Bore Street Lichfield - run by a guy called Richard and somebody else playing the accordion.

The Fighting Cocks in Moseley run by poet Nic Toczek.

The guy from Magic lantern had a club somewhere Black Country side of the city.

There was The Globe in Tamworth for a while.

The Rose and Crown, Wolverhampton.

as you say The Cannock club run by Laurie (sorry the name's gone!). His wife used to sing.

I'm sure there must be some I've left out ...

Of course.... The Boggery!

Dave Sampson had rather better than an attempt at The Roebuck in Erdington. he booked Capstick, Brimstone, Waterfall, Jeremy Taylor....all the usual suspects!
