Sarah Harvey…..Does anyone remember The Hayloft folk and Jazz Clubs in Fairlight? Oct 74 and Dec 73.

Gary Kinch… Dave sadly passed away last year. A good bloke, friend and Squash opponent. I first became aware of the Hayloft back in the 70’s because of the Jazz sessions organised by Dave. We thought it a nice place so we decided to have our wedding reception there. Dave also arranged the Jazz evenings upstairs at Mr Cherrys later in the 70’s. Saw Pete Allens Jazz Band there. A memorable gig. Dave also recommended the best place for a holiday on the Med, we have since been back 9 times. A man with extremely discerning tastes.

Karen Towner… Lovely Eddie !

Stephen Moran… Thank you for sharing Alan. They put on some great music at The Black Horse Folk Club. I was doing some research last week and discovered that the Irish musician Christy Moore played there in April 1977. This is a short article taken from The Hastings Observer dated 2 April 1977.
