I Need Some Help

[Vicar]

Yes I know some say I am beyond it.

Last night I was reminiscing with someone about the good old days and places in London. I recalled a pub we would go to on Thursday nights, I think it was.

Now for your help. Can you remember the name of the pub and where it was? A bit more information is they had a Aussie guy playing a piano and I believe his name was Colin something, may be Colin Cosh , Colin Hindmarsh or nothing like that at all. I recall he end up making a record which he sold at the pub. The place was always packed and to avoid damage, the beer glasses were made of plastic. Chances are it was in Kensington, possibly Kensington West. Was it "The Kensington?"

I am onto it. Google research has located a picture of the man I was trying to find more on. His name is Colin Hindmarsh and I have posted a picture in the "Your Pictures" section. As I read, he has since died, in 1994 to be exact. The site did not mention the pub in London that I was trying to place. It mentioned one place but not in London. Does anyone recall if there was a pub back then called the Nashville? It could have been there but I am not too sure.

Good work Shirley. I roughly read the word Nashville somewhere in one of the listings on Google. That had me thinking the name was familiar. What are my chances of finding the same place on Google Maps all these years later?

Thanks for the link. I have read this before, unfortunately it did not say anything about his time in the pub which I think is agreed was the one in the Nashville Room.

Colin Hindmarch used to be knownas the mad Aussiand played at the Rising Sun Sudbury

[Vicar]

OK, Thanks. He obviously had a few gigs over the years.

Hi Vicar I am sure I went there one night either with John Lyall or on his recomendation and watched Colin play. I think in the winter of 1981/1982.

[Vicar]

He was around for several years so you are probably on the money.
