Picture from Karl's uncle's collection. His uncle is the late Dougie Cooper, pictured here on bass. Is this at the Lynnfield? Any more info?

It is the Lynnfield Hotel. I sat and played in that corner many a night.
Jackie Groundwater is on drums, and John Laughton on piano accordion. John was the son of Davy Laughton of "Night at the Bu" fame. Davy and John were blacksmiths. Their smiddy was in West Castle Street.

Sorry! It is Louis on drums. I think that Hugh Boyd would have owned the hotel at that time.

Looks very like the Lynnfield Hotel
