May 12th - Day 24

One doesn't so much go to The Bedford pub in Balham as travel through it with a "Let's Go The Bedford" guide book. I didn't have the book and subsequently spent ten minutes stumbling through outlying areas of the pub before discovering the live music in a sumptuous room resembling a Shakespearean theatre. I was expecting to see someone called Sarah Russell, but she wasn't there.

Instead I saw Tony Moore, a passionate singer/songwriter/guitarist/person who rather improbably was briefly Iron Maiden's keyboardist many years ago. In the eighties he was in Cutting Crew. And in the nineties he added club management to his cv, including running the music side of this place since 2003. That's he in the dodgy photo.

2019 update. Tony still very much involved at the new look Bedford
