  4. Hi Mal...
    Thanks for your comment on The Greys Club Band pic - as you probably remember I had hundreds of musicians visit Julies Club while I was manager from 1974 - 1990. It was a great place in those days...were you there the night 'Dire Straits' did a free 3 hour show for the customers? or when the whole Count Basie band turned up - knockout nights !
    Did you know my old mate and drummer Ron Studholme well? as you say he was quite a character.
    Hope you are doing well in London
    Regards
    Tommy Henderson

  5. Hello Tommy. What memories this picture brings back, like when I forgot the cabaret artists name.
    All seems like a lifetime ago.
    Hope you are well.

    Regards,
    Derek Lambert
