Churchill Hall - Wembley/Brent North Conservative Club. In the 60s this was the rather unlikely venue for the New Fender Club, which hosted such R&B luminaries of the time as The Who, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds, The Graham Bond Organisation and visiting blues acts from the US. Hard to imagine looking at the rather forlorn building today. Never an attractive building, it is now closed up, surrounded by hoardings and awaiting demolition. It was one of several popular local R&B venues, which included The Granada in Harrow, The Railway Hotel (Wealdstone), The Rising Sun and Starlite Ballroom (the old Odeon cinema) in Sudbury, the British Legion in South Harrow, The Bridge Hotel, The White Hart, and Northcote Arms all in Southall and the Oldfield Tavern in Greenford. The youth of the area were spoiled for choice when it came to live music venues. '
