Acknowledgement
This is the right place to acknowledge the responsibility that The Waverley Bar, St Mary’s Street, Edinburgh, bears for Charlie Bassett’s story. The Waverley and its jazz, Ean its owner, the captivating and mysterious bar staff, and my gang, The Waverley Writers, all contribute unconsciously to Charlie’s voice. He is honoured to know them.
DAVID FIDDIMORE was born in 1944 in Yorkshire and is married with two children.
