soho 1960-1980
By David Silverman
I worked in Soho for 20 years but kept no record other than what is in my memory bank. I am interested in whatever information and record has been kept of that period, especially the early 60's. I cannot imagine that any of my biographical detials will be of any use but if your organisation has any specific questions I may be able to answer them.
I was keen on music and was a habitue of all the clubs in their various forms. I met my wife in the whiskey-a-gogo in 1965. I visited the Marquee in its all its guises and was present at the opening night of The Scene club.
I witnessed several of the Soho characters, was a regular at the Dog & Duck, the Crown and Two Chairmen, Jimmy's restaurant and the New Shanghai on the corner of Wardour Street and St Ann's Court.
I am looking to jog my memory of that period.
Thanks, David Silverman
