The panel above shows some Hob 'bits' memorabilia: (left to right) My membership card, The December 1970 Opening Night flyer and a classified advert for a Re-opening Tuesday night in 1971 featuring Genesis and Roxy Music on the bill.

Check out those entrance prices. 10/- (50p) to see the Strawbs !

The flyer also states 267 The Broadway, is 4 minutes from both the South Wimbledon tube and Wimbledon main line stations. It could have added that my home was a similar distance away.

There's a list of artists on the web who appeared at 'Hobbits Garden', by no means complete, as you will see: [45 worlds - venues link] - from this you may well be able to work out what's coming this Friday 😃

Now having talked about the evening in February when we turned up to see Brian Auger & the Trinity, only for them to not make an appearance, I have recently found this video on YouTube that's worth a listen. From 1971 'Freedom Jazz Dance' - 'live'. With vocals by Alex Ligertwood, who later became lead singer with Santana for nearly 2 decades. The second organ player, it says, is Pierre Rabbath.
