been trying to pin down Mick Jackman pianist and surfboard shaper, I met Mickey in newquay when he made my surfboard and he also played in the tall trees club along the front, Met him again at his parents home in Harbour , sydney in 1970 when he was ashore for 24hrs during the time when he was playing on a liner doing a round the world gig with Johnny Beard, Sax player, small world,Dont remember him playing at The Merrymoor, But Johnny played at a place just up the hill from the pub
My family came to Merrymoor in 1961, the little building next to it was called Crafts and Gifts run by the Atkinsons, this moved to what is now Bettys Surf Shop and then my Dad used it as a Beer Store untill the mid 60s when the Fish and Chip shop was built.
I remember when Syd & Hilda took over the Merrymoor. The place came alive. The bar at the back was aways packed. We were dancing on the chairs and tables in the back bar. They had a daughter called Lyn. Dudley was the barman. They had a juke box which gave us all the latest hits. I was living at the Coastguard cottages at the time only a few yards up the road. They gave me a farewell party when I left for Australia. I have fond memories of that wonderful place.
