The plaque of the band

Above the poster is a blue plaque, marking the fortieth anniversary of a local band's topping of the U.K. charts. Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich had fourteen hits, six in the top five and 'The Legend of Xanadu' went to claim the top spot in 1968. Today it is slightly tinged with sadness with the recent passing of bass guitarist Trevor Ward-Davies (Dozy) on 14th January this year.
