In 1994, alan and Twinkle were hired as "personalities" for the opening night of an Essex night club called the Thaxted Cavern.  
Here is Twinkle's report on the event:-

Alan and I duly arrived at the lovely old Swan Hotel in Thaxted and I could hardly believe my eyes as we were escorted from the authentically panelled, rather grand, reception area down a few steps into the cellar to suddenly find ourselves in the heart of Liverpool’s Mathew Street. Video screens bombarded us with Sixties footage of The Beatles and many other well—known Mersey groups.

A local band called The Wrinklies entertained us with our favourite Sixties hits and the atmosphere was so authentic that I half expected a young Priscilla White to jump up and sing ‘Love Of The Loved’.

The climax of the evening came early when Alan Clayson joined the band for a brilliant version of ‘Gloria’ and brought the house to its’ knees. The energy and charisma of this performer has to be seen to be believed and I can honestly say that, having worked with The Rolling Stones at their peak, Alan makes Mick Jagger look about as dynamic as Mary Whitehouse!

 I was a bit dubious having to follow this ‘extravaganza’ but pleasantly surprised to find a great crowd of young people, all dressed in genuine Sixties gear, cheering me on. We were made very welcome by the owner and all the staff at the Swan and I can honestly say that we had a wonderful evening. The Thaxted ‘Cavern’ is definitely THE club for me!
