It is great to see the 2I’s get the recognition it deserves. There are still lots of us around who performed there regularly – and we are proud to have been part of a legend in the making

Just found this great site. Brings back many happy memories of hours spent in the 2 i’s. I still have my member card fron 1958.

So many of the guys there went on to fame and fortune.
On Saturday night I met up with Liquorice Looking after 50 years, He still has the big grin. He & Vince Eager made a guest appearance.. at a gig. They are both still going strong, Vince can still belt out a great song!
Keep the pictures coming, it’s great to see!

Seeing that lovely pic of Georgie Fame, I had to drop in to say that he was right behind us in the queue at our Sainsbury’s Local yesterday; I went down again tonight for some tomatoes, but only got Holly Willoughby.
