The Ealing Club - home of the Stones first regular gig - have snt me a short film clip.
It also features the man who was the promotor that booked the Stones and ran the club. You will see him describling the stage.
A few faces who also played there at the time. When the Stones left Ealing - Manfred Mann was still playing Jazz at the Bulls Head pub in Barnes with Mike Hugg.

Hello,
I have spent most of my adult life in Ealing and I knew the two men who owned the club, which is now called the Red Rooms, during the nineties. One of them told me that they had contacted the Stones office to see if the Stones had any interest in helping to promote the venue's history and bring the story to a wider audience but that the only one who showed any interest was Bill. Charlie did, however, turn up when the blue plaque was unveiled at the club in 2012. I would have thought, though, that these attempts to mark the venue's importance would need Mick and Keith's involvement (from a Stones perspective), or that of Eric Clapton, or perhaps even a certain Mr P Townshend, in order to receive the necessary wider press coverage.

Never heard of the Stones smashing any guitars. Not even Pete Townshend was smashing guitars pre-65.

I vaguely remember a quote/story where Pete said he saw Keith breaking a guitar against the ceiling, accidentally or not.
