Another popular West London venue in Southall, besides the town’s community centre, was the White Hart. The Who played the venue several times and Jimmy Royal & The Hawks were also regulars. Frankie Reid & The Casuals (with future Jimi Hendrix drummer Mitch Mitchell and Danny McCulloch, who was later in the New Animals) also played frequently.
I would be interested to hear from anyone that can add any further dates below.
