Show Notes:
On this date, The Yardbirds performed at the club’s grand opening on Seven Sisters Road in Finsbury Park. This was shortly after Eric joined the band.
Edwina’s Club was a short-lived but significant North London music venue, operating in the early 1960s during the blues and R&B boom. It competed with other key clubs of the period, such as the Crawdaddy Club and the Ricky-Tick, and quickly became part of the same emerging circuit that nurtured many future stars of the British blues scene.
