The Crown - Jazz Club
In the sixties there was an excellent [trad] jazz club on Tuesdays in the Crown Pub near the Tube station - run by a Steve Duman. Anyone else remember it - Steve also promoted an early RnB club at the Queen Vic in North Cheam - I saw Alexis Korner, Cyril Davis, the Stones etc. before the landlord threw us out after it was gate crashed by the 'Grease' [aka Hells Angels]

RE: RE: The Crown - Jazz Club
I remember the jazz club in the old Crown pub in the late 1950s, it was on the circuit for all the trad bands, as was The Eel Pie Island Hotel at Twickenham and The Thames Hotel at Hampton Court, which we visited regularly, (both long since burned down). We'd see Acker Bilk, Mick Mulligan, Kenny Ball etc. We got about a bit in those days as I'd bought my first car in 1958, a pre-war Austin Seven, when I was just a few months out of school.
