    I used to go there Sunday evenings early 1970s Music and dancing. My mum Isa and stepfather Jimmy Murray used to run the function suite. I’d like to hear from anyone who might have known them.

    Can anyone remember the Bill Garden Set who played at the County Inn for 5 years every Saturday evening and occasionally for talent contests from late 1960’s to early 1970’s?
    The band was made up of Bill Garden piano/keyboard, Jacqui Morrell vocals, Ray Stevenson trumpet, Tom Young tenor sax, Dave McLafferty tombone (a.k.a Dave Winston. Who can forget his rendering of ‘I wanna Be Like You’ form the Jungle Book?), Paul Broadfoot bass, Billy Simpson guitar, Alex Henderson Drums. There were about 400 on each Saturday for the dinner Dance. I remeber Bert (Hyndman) was always there wearing his dinner suit and bow tie.

    The band had to eventually break up because Jacqui the singer was pregnant and Tom the tenor sax player was moving south because of his daytime job. These were great days.
