ITR - URGENT - RICKY TICK CLUB WINDSOR - Information and Groups Who Played There Contact www.InTouchRadio.net

Ricky Tick Club
Windsor
Berkshire
UK
& InTouchRadio.net

1962 - 1968 'ish

Urgent

If you have information, photos, bootleg music played there or have memories of all the Tick Clubs then please contact me.

I'm in contact with John Mansfield who ran the Ricky Tick Club in Windsor during those heady - head stompin' funky daze throughout the 1960's.

The Ricky Tick was the place to play outside of London when bands were bands and touchable and approachable - the list would be too long of all the major acts that played there through those years whether it was at the Star & Garter Pub upstairs out back or at the Thames Hotel down by the river near Windsor Bridge or where it ended at the Old Etonian Club by the Swimming Pool adjacent to the Windsor ByPass.

The associations with all other major clubs with the Tick as it was known again too many to mention in this brief.

Can you help by spreading the word around - get InTouch with all those 60's bands that played the Southern Circuit and ask them to get back into those brain cells and pull out those memories.

John will be coming to mine soon and we will be recollecting those days that made the music of today and if you've contact with the legends that played there then ask them to get their teams to contact me.

Perhaps we can get those other Clubs such as The Wooden Bridge, Guildford, EelPie Island, Marquee (Wardour Street), Ronnie Scotts, 100 Club, Chalk Farm - all those interactive moments that need collecting for you to know what it was like to be in music when it was real bands being paid to play not paying to play; the days on the road, the Ford Transits with double back wheels, the Ford Thames with column changes, the seats changed with old aircraft seats from Heathrow. Going to get your amps repaired with Jim Marshal at Southall, Goodmans Speakers - changing those great big 18 inch drivers - Selmer in Charing Cross Road, the Gia Condor in Denmark Street... come on let's get those memories out so the musicians out there now know what it was really like back then.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you Urgently as I have the meeting soon with John Mansfield and he has so much information ready to be released.

Contact me - Michael - info@intouchradio.net
