It was good to read Stephen Burgen’s memories of the Juniper Blossom blues club that he helped to run in Cambridge circa 1968 (Christine McVie used to play at the blues night we ran as teenagers. We were all besotted, 2 December).
Stephen credits me with being the driving force behind the club. In fact I ran it with the late, great drummer Pip Pyle, with whom I was playing at the time in Bruno’s Blues Band, which later became Delivery. It was Pip who had the contacts to the agencies for the bands and artists that we booked. And I was no longer “still at school” when we ran the club – I had met Pip at the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, where we were both supposed to be studying for our A-levels.
