It may sound like a cliche, but he really was one of rock music's all time greats. RIP David.

Absolutely.
I will remember him this way with Jagger.

No idea I'm afraid, I think it would have been before his first album was released probably 1967 or there abouts.
I know he played saxophone for them

Was there a nightclub in the Washington during the sixties?
Gwynant will remember better than me.

I remember going there in 1962/63 and it was upstairs if I remember correctly. but Gwynant may know more about the place.

It wasn't so much a nightclub, Hugo and Bri, more of a music venue in the sixties. It was situated upstairs where the Indian Restaurant was in later years and all the local bands played there at some time or another. A music promoter from Rhos (I think his name was Johnson) used to book bands from Liverpool quite often and I remember seeing Geno Washington (who was an ex american GI) and his Ram-Jam Band there a few times and London bands like the Graham Bond Organisation and also Ginger Baker appeared there with his band ( before his "Cream" days) when there were also some jazz nights on a Monday. My abiding memory of the "Wash" was when a massive fight between the locals and the lads from the Bay and Mochdre broke out on the dance floor one night and one of the Bay lads was cornered on one of the balconies and had to drop off the balcony onto the roof of a police van parked below on the pavement to escape!
