In those days you had to be 21 to get licenced. That was the age of majority back then. Westminster City Council sent their Entertainment Employment Agency Inspector [an ex copper] to interview me. He trusted me enough to grant me a license while I was still a tender 19 year old teenager. When I opened my office in Archer Street, Piccadilly London business was very slow. I then started booking all the beat clubs and coffee bars in Soho. But the business only became a success when I focused my efforts on Colleges & Universities. I then formed College Entertainments Ltd. I was managing director until 1972 when I married the love of my life. That is when I sold the company after enjoying twelve hectic years of rock music success. That period from 1960 until the early '70's was an exciting explosive crazy roller coaster ride. It was a frantic time. The start of unadulterated Rock Music. I started out with nothing. I was broke and lived on Tulse Hill estate in Brixton. Homeless people have been known to refuse accommodation on that notorious estate..... I go into detail about my rock music adventures later. > Rod Stewart help save Author's Rock Music Agency. > Marc Bolan appeared at Mistral club for Author. > Clapton played in famous groups Author booked
