Thread Name: Terry Masterson CD launch in Brighton
Subject: RE: Terry Masterson CD launch in Brighton
I dropped an e-mail to an old friend about this event, and I'd like to quote from his reply to me, I'm sure he won't mind.
"Terry started as a very nervous floor-singer in 1958 at Eel Pie Island - where the residents were Robin Hall and American Sandy Paton - He was then a full-time Art Student and later had a few One Man exhibitions of his paintings. In about 1963 he became resident at Bunjees in the West End and then at The Crown in Twickenham later in the 60's he became resident singer in Brighton and Lewes. He used to sing a mixture of English/Irish and West Indian Songs - he was a real nice unassuming guy - good to know that he's still active."
Interesting to see Sandy Paton get a mention there, I was around at the time, but don't remember running into Sandy.
As I said hope it's a great night, and I still want a copy of his CD.
