On a Saturday night in 1974 I went to the Rainham Working 
Mens Club with a friend and his parents for a buncha pints 
and was floored when the singer onstage followed a 
perfectly inflected Johnny Cash number with a "Thanks very 
much" spoken in the widest East London accent you can 
imagine. 
It was a revelation and then some.
