Great ! I was 17 then.

It would be between 1961 to 1963...probably 62,63 as I was 16 /17.

I performed at The Barn too in later years....but t never had the class of the Plough.

The Plough when I performed there was style ...it all went downhill when live music started to die. But there are must be a few of us still around to recall what a grand place it was.

Well it as obviously not like this in the 1960s. The Plough was sophisticated inside and outside. Thanks for taking the time.

I wonder if it was your Dad I worked for ? he was a photographer for Canning's magazine. So would have obviously been involved in publicity. I had the chance of a great future there and learning about photographer that has been a lifetime hobby. Music and singing my future. This is a photograph...
