This site is of some interest to Stones fans and others - if you haven't seen it before.
Dedicated to the legendary EEL Pie Island Hotel where the Stones and many others played back in the early sixties..Beck, Clapton,Stewart etc..
You may remember I made some attempt to describe the Eel Pie club in my book. This site has quite a few pictures of the place, including the toll footbridge. It also has many stories and pictures featuring some of the people who used to go there at the time, along with stories of the Ealing Club and Richmond.

Quite a few pages to get thru on the site. Also has some pictures of the L'Auberge restaurant where we would go for a meal after the Richmond gig - the site of the first meeting with Andrew Oldham.

Eel Pie Island Hotel - Paul Jones, BBC R4
Lead singer with Manfred Mann, Paul Jones looks back at the colourful history of The Eel Pie Island Hotel in Twickenham. In the late 1800s, Charles Dickens described the hotel as a 'place to dance to the music of the locomotive band'.
In the 1950s crowds flocked to the free jazz club that the hotel became, and in the '60s it became a regular haunt of R&B musicians, Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Yardbirds, The Who, and many a barefooted hippy tempted over the bridge by the promise of a free party.
Demolished in a mysterious fire in 1971, the hotel's history is preserved in the stories, poems and songs of the old islanders and musicians who played there - like George Melly, Ian McLagan and Ronnie Wood.

Eel Pie Club also has some great gigs at The Cabbage Patch Pub and Twickenham venues during the Year.
Always a good Sunday afternoon of music June/July time in the summer outside The Barmy Arms pub by the bridge to the Island.
They organised that great Sunday of music for Art Wood tribute when our Ronnie was there.
