Hi Dick. Yes, the Windmill Club at Upminster was good and very well attended. We booked some excellent guests. Albion Band, Jasper Carrot,Mike Harding and The Bushwakers on tour from Australia ( my first experiance of the Largerphone),to name but a few. Always remember Swan Arcade during their Folk Rock period, their PA system was so big it took two guys to push in the mixer, which was on wheels and must have been about 6 foot tall (well I was smaller then so it might have been less )

However the best thing about the club,from a financial prospective,was that Havering Council let us have the venue free and
covered us for any cash shortfall ! Ah those were the days. Having said that I think the Council may still make a donation towards John Durrants club that still runs in Romford.

Take care, Dom
