Subject: RE: Remember Les Cousins, in London's Soho?
Great to read these fond reminiscences of Les Cousins. Our memory can get a bit fuddled thinking back..but great to read such spot on stuff from Bredda, Will Fly & Rick Norcross. I played at the club many times from '68 on, ran all-nighters spent many an afternoon upstairs in the flat with Mr & Mrs Matthew (english spelling!) leaning out the window, with Mr (Andy's Dad..Andy still in bed..it's after lunch!)Mathew telling me about the soho police and what was going on. Of course it all came out in a big Met Police scandal.
One Mic.One Leak hifi amp. great performers.great music. great audience.great times.great memories. All the more poignant now, having attended Bert's funeral last friday.
John James ps I've posted some cuttings from Andy's Melody Maker ads for Cousins on my website. www.johnjamesguitarist.com
