Bunjies.

I was resident there for a few years with my partner Audrey Smith, and we played opposite Ron Simmonds with Big Theo Johnson doing 3 songs at half time.
Big Theo always needed an accompanist and unluckily Ron, me and Roger Evans had to take turns which meant a shorter break.
The money was rubbish, the venue was fantastic, the atmosphere electric, the audience wonderful, the acoustics superb, and the occasional guests excellent.

I don't think I ever found another venue for folk music in Europe with quite the character that Bunjies had. It's a shame it's gone.
