Streatham, Clubs, Pubs And Jazz
A Memory of Streatham.
A family home in Fernwood Avenue and education of sorts at St Joseph's College, New Park Road and Dulwich, saw me through to the late 50s. Dave Carey of the Swing Shop became a big influence and I joined various local bands with Trevor Swale, Pete Holmes, Tony Levy, Fred Ling, Colin Stevens and others before turning pro and eventually leading bands in Germany, on Ships and in various Clubs, Pubs and Theatres. I remember nightly walks to see my first girlfriend Christine in Bedford Hill, my first fag in a hollow tree overlooking Tooting Bec Baths; but sadly missed the goings-on in Ambleside Avenue even though the back of our house had a ringside view!
