Best Blues Book 2014 by Blues Matters magazine. Have you heard
about Eel Pie Island? Anyone with an interest in the history of UK
rock n' roll is familiar with The Cavern Club and the role that
Merseyside played in the story of the British Beat scene. But on a
far-less-celebrated, but no less significant path, over a small
bridge onto an island in the middle of the Thames, Eel Pie Hotel,
another great 60s club night, played host to acts that would later
make a global name for themselves. The Rolling Stones, Long John
Baldry, Rod Stewart, Pink Floyd, The Small Faces, David Bowie and
The Yardbirds are amongst the many acts who performed at the
legendary Eel Pie Hotel during its 50s and 60s heyday, as did jazz
greats like Ken Colyer, Kenny Ball and Acker Bilk, as well as more
avant-garde performers like Ivor Cutler. But how did The Eel Pie
Club become such a popular venue? What motivated its founder,
Arthur Chisnall to create a space where young people could enjoy
the music they wanted to, in an environment free from the usual
constraints? Why has this thriving West London scene been omitted
from rock history when its influence has spread far and wide?
Recently, bands like The Mystery Jets have paid homage to
Chisnall's fabulous club, playing gigs on the island that launched
careers and cemented rock's infamous relationships. The latest
incarnation of the Eel Pie Club is alive and well. This book traces
the origins of a scene that is long overdue for recognition.
