I have just heard the sad news regarding Diz. What a great character he was. I used to compare the Grove Folk Club in the Grove Tavern in Battersea during the 60's. When Diz was on the bill a full house could be guaranteed. He was a regular but somehow his jokes and stories got better with the telling.

Does anyone remember any of the Grove floor singers? Wonderful people like Brixton Bert, Fat Sue, Smelly Dave Ward, Doug Bailey and of course John Garrick with whom I'm still in contact. If anyone remembers the Grove Club, please drop me an email at peterbaylis@btinternet.com
