Chris Coleman… The Viking, Eastbourne 76/77 NMP

Ian Turner… Does anyone remember Traffic playing here in the late 60s when it was the Catacombe?

Mick Gilfrin… I do and it was an afternoon gig . I can’t remember when but I would guess 1967 ? I was still at school and didn’t go as I had double maths ! ( sad ) I think it was quite early on before they became famous.

Robert Searle… Played there a few times with Easy Street etc

Chris Baker… I am guessing that sign looked better when it was illuminated! (Don’t blame me, my wife was a typesetter!).

Alan Esdaile… Jon McCallion, wasn’t it here we had to go to, to try and get some money from the guy that put ‘Muller’ on at the Pier Hotel and hadn’t paid us?

Jon McCallion… I don’t know, I can remember the pier hotel, but as far as chasing the money is concerned, I have no idea.
