Thread Name: Where is Jack & Maggie King
Subject: RE: Where is Jack & Maggie King
Last saw Jack and Margaret in 1968 I'd guess at a club I organised somewhere around Mornington Crescent but can't quite rememeber where.
They were running the Cellar at Cecil Sharp House when I first went there in the mid 60's and we would book them regularly for local youth club folk type do's
Jack was, I recall, a Bank Manager (possibly Barclays) in Kentish Town but I haven't seen or heard of them since that late 60's reference.
Jack also taught guitar at CSH on Tuesday nights.
When they gave up the residency at the Cellar it was talen over on a 3 weekly cycle basis by Tony Rose, Tony Dean and the Laymen and a band run by Dave Watts(?) but the name escapes me. As does Dave's surname possibly hence the (?).
I think Tony Dean and Dave are still involve in Elsie's Band down on the Kent Sussex borders.
When the 2 Tony's and Dave gave up the residency then Myself and a couple of others took over and the rest, as they say is history.
Sorry there's not much Jack and Margaret info there but I went into nostalgia mode!
