Shindig didn't know it but her reputation with the boys of Soho had
been made that day. It was one of those occasions when time had
gone into free fall, everyone watched as he arced gracefully
through the air and fell to the floor. He was quickly dispatched
out into the courtyard. Sharks would discover him soon. The
Rendezvous Club is a squalid little gaff off a slippery courtyard.
Here, you'll always find a gathering of the 'boys' of Soho. These
are men's men; mostly one syllable names: Vic, Stan or Reg, and
definitely not how you would expect gangsters to look - no Bogarts
or Greenstreets here. From the 'meat rack' in the Dilly to Joe
Lyons Corner House at Coventry Street or the Sunset Club on Carnaby
Street, it is startling how these places fit in and complement
deviant life and villainy. Soho, in the 1950s, was a centre for
misfits and petty criminals. Surrounded by this unusual brew of
characters, Shindig seems to fit right in. That is until things
change for the bosses up west and the powers look to be shifting in
Soho's underworld...Jake Arnott meets Nell Dunn in this gritty
accolade to Soho and to deviants of every ilk. "Critical Mass"
says: A fantastically gritty read - unputdownable!
