Hi Pat
Last time I was down the BHM was when me and our Dave did the last alldayer there. I think you'd gone back to Ireland by then. It was an OK day but I got the impression that some people didn't turn up out of loyalty to you (which I can sort of understand). ...and it pissed down all day.
I was also there the night Jr Walker was due to play. I came up from London with a bunch of friends. Shame that night, it had so much going for it then so much lost!
I've got great memoties of BHM. I remember arguing like a gud 'un with Tim Brown about how he wouldn't lend me a few records to listen to when he had suitcases full of them. Fighting with George Sharp cos he wouldn't do me a deal with £2.00 off £35 worth of records. Trying to get Pat Brady into a vodka session (just for fun).Great days.
I was talking to Arthur Fenn about how I used to spend lots of time in the Modern room and asked him if it was always empty (the music was fantastic). I'd never seen more than 5 people in there. He said they'd had some chocker do's in there. maybe I missed the more popular sessions somehow. Always loved that modern room with Sam, Arthur and Pete Haigh.
All the best for the future.
