Elton John did a video there in the '80s, and I saw Thunderclap Newman play piano and sing in the Rivoli.
I knew about Elton (I guess that's why they call it the blues) but do tell more about Thunderclap Newman!
I can't remember the details, it was an evening promoted and organised by the late great Marcel Steiner I think, almost a private party but not quite. Probably early '80s. Andy (Thunderclap) Newman was an unassuming rather down at heel character, but completely brilliant.
