Woolly Allen and Streatham Bingo Hall

Recorded in Vincent Burke’s kitchen in Streatham with me picking the tune on acoustic steel string, Dominic Read playing lead acoustic guitar, Vince playing percussion and Robert Tessler playing electric guitar. The building, a  successful theatre back in the day, is now home to Streatham Bingo Hall. Below you can see what it looked like back in 1954 – image of Frith & Co postcard kindly supplied by Arthur Lloyd who curates a wonderful website on the history of English music halls and theatres. http://www.arthurlloyd.co.uk
