The Sohemians present
John Branston, SAJ2 contributor and friend of notorious postwar black-marketeer and Soho ‘pay-to-see’ strip-joint owner, the late Michael Nelson, relates the choicest escapades from Mickey’s kiss-and-tell ‘Captain Blossom’ memoirs. Also recollections of Soho prostitution and drinking dens and scandalous first hand literary anecdotes recalling the ‘Horizon’ years and pre-war Soho haunts of the 1920s. (Map of interwar ‘Black Mile’ clubland distributed as a souvenir.)
