Thread Name: Remember Les Cousins, in London's Soho?
Subject: RE: Remember Les Cousin's, in London's Soho?
Was it John Baldry who did the Naz? I think it was. A post above mentions Duffy Power - beautiful voice and such a lovely bloke. There was so much creative energy in Cousins, and so much talent was there. Magical evenings of warmth and hope. Somehow we all had faith in the future, that things were getting better, and that we had a part to play in it.

After writing the above I am sitting here feeling very sad for the world we are in now.

The music business has been dominated by money and groups for so long - real creativity hasn't been needed or wanted. Make money is the mantra for the industry. My brother Paul was in a band - Orang-Utan. Never paid a penny - got ripped off. Do kids these days still start there own bands, or are they all stuck in front of a computer living a fantasy life, instead of getting out and creating a life for themselves. I am so sorry for kids today. I was so lucky.
