Damn! This writer contacted me asking for info on the NTMC which I ran some years ago, a club that was well talked about , pro and con, at the time. Unfortunately I lost his address before I got the chance to reply, and although I made lots of enquiries I wasn't able to trace him, and he never came back to me. Now the book is out and I'm anxious to see what Mr Bean has written about the club, which was, and still is, the subject of several urban legends about it's strict policy. It was said that no guitars were allowed, not true, that floor singers had to audition outside the clubroom,not true, that we were anti-American, again not true, just ask Tom Paley, Hedy West, Michael Cooney for instance. There were others but I can't remember them all. I do hope thatMr Bean has not perpetuated these kind of stories in his book. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.
