Thursday Club On The Green, Falconwood Parade

A Memory of Blackfen.

It was the early 1960's and I was a curious teenager beginning a voyage of discovery into the exciting world of pop music, rock and roll, coffee bars and clubs. In fact the first teen club I ever attended was the Thursday Club held in a hall on The Green, Falconwood Parade. It was where I saw my very first live band, the exciting Jason Black and the Avengers, who had something of a cult following and appeared regularly to a sell-out audience. There was always a drink or two in The Woodman pub with mates before every gig to put everyone in a party mood. At some point the Tuesday Club opened in the same place, both venues being a rites of passage to the then Italian teen fashion, hanging out with guys and meeting girls. A whole new world.

and a few years further down the line the same venue still ran a Thursday club and my brother Stephen was the DJ there for many years. I still have every record that was played.
Thank you Teresa for the info. I can only guess just how good that record collection must be.
