I was a customer in the earliest days, then worked drinks & desserts under Widdie. She gave me a generous dinner with dessert and admission to the night's concert.

When we reopened with David Pyle and then Susan & David Lord, I did lots of jobs; garden work, cleared tables, held fussy babies so their mums could eat, diningroom manager, giftshop manager, and emcee. I made the new banner to replace the Lady banner, and another one of my own to use when Tony Bird played there.

I remember the night "Mad Dog" Don Wright played his last gig with Greg Brown, and the one and only time Gordon Bok played, Archie, Cilla, and Ray Fisher, Lui Collins of course, Garnet...so many wonderful nights!

There were many wonderful concerts and contra dances in the Nelson Town Hall then, too. Good memories.
