Merv Kennard… yes remember it well. played there a few times. landlord always wanted to flip a coin for double or quits before paying.

Colin Jefferys… Loved this pub was a regular in 1979. Carol snd Ted super couple. Ted worked for the Daily Mirror by day as a printer Carol paid me 50.00 to whitewash the cellar one weekday. Had some good times with them and yes Tony was involved in the disco.   Great days

Pete Brazier… Our Band “IRON DUKE” used to practice there and did a couple of Gigs there too! (The first one was my first ever proper gig!) I was so nervous my leg started to shake so I put extra weight onto that leg which stoped the shake but yes you probably guessed it! The other leg started to shake! I was leaning from side to side trying to get my legs to stop shaking! And all I could think is “Is this how shaking stevens got his name?” Either people didn’t noticed or thought it was some sort of dance because I never got referd to as “Shaking Peter”
