Roy Green

[Millwall History]

Hello, I am hoping someone on here might be able to help me. I’m writing a Millwall FC podcast and I’m trying to discover who is Roy Green who sung Let Em Come. I think at one time he was resident at The Torreodor pub in the Bullring. I'd be interested if anyone remembers Roy and can tell me anything about him and if he is still alive and can put me in touch with him or family. Many thanks.

You could be right, Judy. I should know better, I was at the opening of the Locarno!

At the opening, the name band was Colin Hulme, with my old buddy, Gerry West on drums. The Trio was Roy Green, and I worked with Roy in the Jan Ralfini Band. The Catering Manager was Henry Quinn. We shared 'digs' in Leicester, when I first arrived there. Strange, the stage seems smaller than I remembered it, although you can see the rounded front area, ideal for turning. They had twenty musicians and singers on that stage for the opening night. Later, I was resident at the Locarno with both 'Ramble Tamble' and 'Red Sun'.

The old Casino did have a balcony, with tables to sit at and watch the band. I recall an English actor, Michael Balfour, would often come in for the afternoon sessions, and would 'chat' up the ladies.

The balcony was over looking the dance floor, and the stage.

because norfolk brummie has got gone but not forgotten under his name this means that he has sadly passed away..i have also moved this thread to the surname interests of the forum

Hi. A bit late I know but I’ve just discovered you. My dad Dave Allen played with Roy at the Locarno, along with drummer Les Hobbs. I attach pics. Les is still around. Sadly not so my dad or Roy. Don’t know about others.
Hope this helps! Kat.
