When Blues musicians arrived in London in the early 60s, their first booking was often at
the Bromley Court Hotel, Catford; a short bus ride from my home. This gig was a 'warm-up' for their appearance at the Marquee Club in Oxford Street. Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf and Bo
Diddley appeared at the Court with British stars such as John Mayall, Alexis
Corner and Spencer Davis. With
his pencil moustache, Telecaster, sharp suits and from Rolling
Fork, Mississippi - Muddy
Waters “Got my Mojo Working”. Read more about all this at 'Left Field.'
