Tony Davis Merlin’s Music Box – The Crypt Hastings 1971/72

Tony Davis… This is a bit of a grim photo but thought you might like to see the first disco to play at The Crypt in about 1971/72. This is me at the controls of Merlin’s Music Box. We used to play there between 7.30pm and 10.30pm on Sunday and Thursday nights. At one stage we also had Gogo dancers.

Iain Cobby… Love the light show Mr Davis, obviously not wanting to overload the electrics!

Tony Davis… pictures of me djing on the pier in about 1971 these were EF student Mondays and I think this was a series of gigs done by Merlins music box Tony Anthony Davis

Alan Esdaile… Tony was a very popular disc jockey and people here will remember him from djing at The Astral Club, Golden Hind, The Crypt and various other venues. The Astral Club was opposite the Disc Jockey Record Shop. Also was the Pam Dor and Toffs. I think I remember him playing Burundi Steiphenson Black a lot?

Leigh Wieland-Boys… I remember Tony Davis from the Astral & Golden Hind – great DJ!

Kevin Burchett… I remember him to.

Jeanette Steve Jones n Jones… Cross the road neighbour. Hi Tony:)

Alan Pepper… I vaguely remember that ! Burundi was an instrumental right ?
Did he also play Image instrumental too ? Alan Haven ?? Happy days !!!

Susie Prescott… I know Tony Davis but after his dj days. Heard about them though.
