Cadets The Dolphin Club

A Memory of Streatham.

I was one of the young fellows in the early 'fifties that used to ruin the peace in and about Streatham as a drummer with the 5th County of London( RA) cadet band. It was a rather splendid band , and we were based up around the top end of Streatham hill, where A Coy was situated. I was with B Coy at Upper Tulse Hill.
The Dolphin Club was on the left of the High Road just before the railway bridge . We had some good times there .The Billy Woods band played there , also Mickey Williams who later joined Jeff Rowena at the Locarno . I recall that one went down to the basement area to get to the cub. It later became the what ever the french for "Mad Owls" is (" Fou......something or other" !). Somewhere I still have a photo of Mick playing on stage there.
