Talking of the Twist Club, found this on Ebay, (USA) Anyone know a S.Dawson i wonder.


"S Dawson" surely must be Stuart "Dinky" Dawson whose name has been mentioned a few times on this board and also on various Rotherham history related groups on Facebook.

Dinky was a pioneering sound engineer for some of the great bands of the sixties and seventies - including the original Pete Green version of Fleeetwood Mac and, after he moved to the US, notably for The Byrds. He grew up in Greasborough and was involved in the burgeoning music scene around Rotherham in the very early sixties. He may well have DJ'd at the Twist Club. I know he was involved with Peter Stringfellow's musical ventures at the time.

We need Sugar Tiler back for this. He was the one who first raised his name in one of his quiz questions on here. Famously Dinky took the whole Byrds entourage round to his mums house for a cup of tea when they were touring the UK. The band coach fetched up in Greasborough and there is a photo in circulation of them all outside the house. (One of Sugar's friends is in the picture.)

Went to the gig at City Hall to see the Byrds. Only McGuin of the originals in the band but they were still superb. Rita Coolidge (who later married Kris Kristopherson) who was the support act and was rumoured to be "the Delta Lady" was midway through the set when onto the stage strode Joe Cocker for a couple of songs. Magic!!!!
