Anyone here who used to frequent The Load of Hay around 1969-1971?

That name rings a bell where was it ?

The Load of Hay is in Villiers Street.

I seldom went past the Adam and Eve in that direction.

I think I went there a couple of times in that period. I also went there a few times when it had a folk club circa '87/88.
More recently, I went there a couple of times about 3 years ago when I found out it was hosting some Hayes Grammar reunions. I discovered that the landlord was an old friend of mine (Grant Lewis) and he actually took the pub over from a Heather Winterbottom who I also knew - she worked at the same firm as me.

I was part of the resident group there in around 1969. There was a folk club there at the time.

I know there was a "jug band" that used to play there, I think it was called Jugular Vein.

and 1 of their members used to work at Leonard Beakhurst Records at the top of Lansbury Drive, he then went to work in that musical instrument shop in the early days of The Pavillions, Uxbridge.

The group I was in were the people who ran the club in the mid to the late 60's and we were called The Haywain. Original line up Paul and Gay Waterman, and Ray, the I joined them when Ray left.
