Though it wasn't the one mentioned, I, and my friend Chris Baker ran a club in Maidstone (The Dog & Gun F.C.) from the beginning of 1976 till April 1983, when I had to quit for work related reasons.

We ran on Saturday nights with a regular audience of 40 people, and booked a guest on every club night

We booked good quality guests ( Eddie Walker, Derek Smith, Dick Miles, Nick Dow, Jake Thackray, Martin Carthy, John Foreman, Adrian May, from across the pond Clive Gregson, along with the finest local stars), and we had good quality residents, though we welcomed, encouraged and assisted beginners to find their feet.

Chris Baker, for whatever reason, finally closed the club, still drawing the same audiences at the end of 1983, but I think it might still have been going today, had there been someone to pick up the reins.
