An example of how popular the Ricky Tick was the Rolling Stones played the Club no less than 39 times during 1962 - March 1964 - six times before the Crawdaddy Club - this was more than any other club - Mods & Rockers flooded to see the Stones, Animals, Yardbirds, Georgie Fame, John Mayall, Zoot Money Graham Bond, Nightimers, Moody Blues, Van Morrison - Fleetwood Mac ~ The Ricky Tick was the place to let it all hang out ~ well metaphorically speaking of course.
The Ricky Tick started off life in the famous Star & Garter Pub in Peascod Street, famous as being the oldest Coaching Inn in Windsor and one-time home to the boxing fraternity where famous boxers like Sugar Ray Robinson used to box upstairs above the one-time stables below - later moving to The Thames Hotel by the river close to Windsor / Eton bridge for a short segue and then relocating to The Old Etonian Club - by then a semi-derelict mansion near the river and the Windsor Swimming Pool by Windsor Bypass bridge.
The Ricky Tick promoted in 27 towns providing an incredible range of artists and all of this from the humble beginnings of John (Lancelot) Mansfield and his late partner Philip Hayward.
I made contact with John after my interview with Smokey Joe recently when we started remembering our past and Long John Baldry and an incident with me and LJB occured outside the Ricky Tick when it was at the Star & Garter - this led me to follow up LJB only to find he'd passed on 3 years previously and I then contacted John Mansfield.
John is shortly coming down to my place and we're going to review the Tick's history over a series of programs which I am happy to do as this was one of my gigs back then and for me it's like going home again - I hope it will feel the same to some of those bands that also played there - bringing back the days when music was music and no barriers only hard work gigging up and down the country and overseas - we were paid in those days - my first bands pay the princely sum of £2.50UK not for me but the whole band but at least we were paid - many bands these days pay to play - something I cannot and will never understand - your trade deserves to be paid the same way you had to pay for your gear, car, van - petrol/diesel, strings,skins, mics etc.
If you have any way to those people above or any others that played at the Ricky Tick please don't hesitate to contact me as soon as possible - if you can get through to those people please do and ask them to contact back to me: michael@intouchradio.net and I hope to see you all over online at www.intouchradio.net
