Ah the Glitterati of Henley at their best - dancing to Beach Boy(ish) safe rock......
Just like the moribund Henley Regatta mob of today -
I looked up Medneham Abbey (I used to live nearby)...It was a failed hotel, back in the day.
The village pub (Dog & Badger) had gone bust last time I went through....
The Manor used to get it's feet wet (it's by the river)
Load of twaddle about 18c prostitutes & the like
Which brings us back quite neatly to the 'hoose' band
(Twaddle that is, not prossies)
IMO terms & conditions apply........

:)

Oh dear Jack, you made me remember a nightmare! :P
We played a welcome to England party at Cliveden House for a bunch of US students just in from Stanford University in 1969.
If you reckon the English were class conscious you should have seen that lot in action.
We were a typical Brit. psychedelic, progressive blues band of the day and they were asking us to play Sinatra, Bobby Vee type stuff. - seriously.
Except for one guy who was not wearing a tie and had slightly longer hair than the rest of the US males there.
He had a stash of good stuff hidden out in the garden, Gawd bless him. :D
Probably the most surreal evening I have ever experienced. :rolleyes:
