Diane,

I did as you advised and read Peggy's statement. There is one point that I would just like to clarify. The B&B club by which I take it Peggy means the Ballads and Blues Club, DID NOT become the Singer's Club. When I first started going to the Ballads and Blues Club it was run as I mentioned above by Malcolm Nixon and Pete Turner. It continued under Malcolm Nixon and to a lesser extent Pete Turner until it closed in 1965.
Peggy and Ewan left the residency which they held at the Ballads and Blues Club and set up The Singer's Club with the help I believe of Bruce Dunnett. The Ballads and Blues club and the Singer's Club were both operating at the same time from then onward along with several other clubs in London.
