During the mid eighties, Monday night was blues jam night at The Broken Doll, largely fuelled by Matthew Brown's Slalom D lager, which could be lethal. This featured many North East band members, but the backbone was the 'house band', Dan To Dan, which largely consisted of landlord Mike Barker (vocals, harmonica), John Whitehill (guitar) and Ken Potter (bass) in the early days.
