    Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated (fronted by Mick jagger) were the Thursday night regulars, but they had an appearance on a BBC live broadcast. Because Jagegr wasn’t participating in the live broadcast, Brian Jones convinced the club owner, Harold Pendleton, to let their new group perform.

    The orginal lineup was Mick Jagger on vocals, Brian Jones and Keith Richards on guiatr, Ian Stewart on piano, Dick taylor on bass, and Mick Avory on drums.
