Singing with Black Anna in Ber Street. 

In The Jolly Butchers. One of the most famous pubs in Norwich in her day! There was one thing they used to say though : If you see a Pound note on the floor, don't bend down to pick it up!

I remember an open air concert by Mannfred Mann in Earlham Park, in the early 60s.  One of the first pop concerts in the country. The warm up act, on an upright piano, was Black Anna!

I also remember that, and one by the Small Faces. As for Beccles girls, handy, on the way home! Bungay and Barsham were a bit out of my way but hey ho, as Brucie used to say, "if the price was right"!

As for Jazz, one of the Norwich clubs used or organise river-boat shuffles on the old steam river-boats from Yarmouth, memorable!  The name of Alex Atterson might ring a few bells, both in Jazz & Folk circles, a bit of a driving force in his day.
