Missed your post last month. We were regulars there on Sunday nights agree about Patto who played quite a few times they had an amazing guitarist. So many good bands played there I’ve got a list somewhere

Patty’s drummer was John “Admiral” Halsey, still around and at least until recently, a publican in Cambridge. He was also Barry Wom in The Rutles who I saw in Manchester a few years back and despite the advancing years and walking with a stick, an absolutely rock solid drummer.

He was a session drummer on Walk On The Wild Side and when asked what he thought of Lou Reed was honest to say he never met him, went in, did his stint, got paid and went home. That track used beaters not sticks and that was his idea, he felt it suited the style better and when he heard it, Lou agreed.

I’ve imagined him behind the bar in his pub in Cambridge and some local asking him what he used to do for a living and the looks of disbelief when he casually mentions drumming on an all time classic track “of course you did John, of course you did” 🙂

Thanks, find this is so interesting!
I can still picture their line up on stage. Remember Mike died young. Happy days. Also happy memories of first division football at the Lane in the early 70s when we had skilful players ….the days of Hockey,Currie, Dearden etc etc.
Great memories of both football and music!
