Thread Name: Remember Les Cousins, in London's Soho?
Subject: RE: Remember Les Cousin's, in London's Soho?
Mr. Mathious, Andy's father used to call me Gypsy, but no one else does any more. I found Les Cousins after being at Bungies, and going with the crowd from Bungies roughly around 1966. I worked there behind the counter for about a year or so when I was still in grammar school ( called high school in the USA). I remember that Al Stewart was very friendly, and we used to go and eat at the "As You Like It" restaurant between the evening and overnight shifts. Artists that I remeber hearing were: The Young Tradition, Stephan Grossman, John Martyn, Sammy Mitchell, Alexis Korner, Victor Brox, Long John Baldry, Ralph McTell, Noel Murphy, Davy Graham, Ian Anderson, Al Stewart, Roy Harper,John Renbourne,Champion Jack Dupree, and many others. I also remember Old Meg and Paris Nat Schaffer, and Mox. A reunion might be depressing as about half of those artists have died.
