By Johnny Fewings

This weeks Jazz, Blues & Beyond (vol128) is a special dedicated to the 1960’s Soho, Folk and Blues club…Les Cousins. I am joined by Diana Matheou, Bridget St John, Beverley Martyn, Steve Tilston, Wizz Jones and Ian Anderson. They all played at the Cousins back in the day, and here they tell their fabulous stories of those times. Ian has recently curated a three disc box set for Cherry Red Records featuring over 70 artists that performed there and this show features 14 tracks from that album.
