Chinese Jazz Club
A Memory of Brighton.
It was Uncle Bonnie's Chinese Jazz Club which ran all-night sessions on a Friday night, from 11pm to about 6am the next morning. All sorts of jazz was played, including trad jazz. There were singles and couples, I think drinks most of the night, and of course a smoky atmosphere from cigarettes.
Great music and atmosphere, you all went home for breakfast unless you found an open cafe - what time did Joe Lyons tea house open at the bottom of St James Street?
Who was Uncle Bonnie and what happened to him?
