Thanks for publicising George as it would have passed me by. It is a fascinating article by Alan and I notice Ian Marks also gets a mention.
Playing in a café is enjoyable as I experienced last year when visiting Luxembourg for the Tim Upton memorial event.
Which clubs in Scotland have (or had) anything comparable?

Scotland's equivalent is the number of Glasgow clubs that used tea rooms and restaurants as their playing venues and I am planning to write something about this history-late 19th century and early 20th century. Alan
