Author 60's -70's It was 1960 and I was the youngest Rock Music
Agent in Soho, Piccadilly aged 19. In those days you had to be 21
to get licenced. That was the age of majority back then.
Westminster City Council sent their Entertainment Employment Agency
Inspector an ex copper] to interview me. He trusted me enough to
grant me a license while I was still a tender 19 year old teenager.
When I opened my office in Archer Street, Piccadilly London
business was very slow. I then started booking all the beat clubs
and coffee bars in Soho. But the business only became a success
when I focused my efforts on Colleges & Universities. I then
formed College Entertainments Ltd. I was managing director until
1972 when I married the love of my life. That is when I sold the
company after enjoying twelve hectic years of rock music success.
That period from 1960 until the early '70's was an exciting
explosive crazy roller coaster ride. It was a frantic time. The
start of unadulterated Rock Music. I started out with nothing. I
was broke and lived on Tulse Hill estate in Brixton. Homeless
people have been known to refuse accommodation on that notorious
estate..... I go into detail about my rock music adventures later.
