Ricky-Tick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ricky-Tick was an influential 1960s rhythm & blues club in Windsor, host to many important acts such as The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, The Pink Floyd and Cream.
The club was resident at several Windsor locations over its lifespan and included clubs in Guildford, Hounslow and High Wycombe, but its most famous venue was the Windsor river-side mansion at Clewer Mead.

The Club was also situated at the Drill Hall at Maidenhead in 1963 and had bands like Yardbirds, Pretty Things and the Stones. It then moved to a pub in Peascod Street Windsor before moving to Clewer Manor. Sunday nights saw the Disco-Tick evenings with Fridays and Saturdays given over to live bands. Geno and the Ram Jam were regulars as were Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames, The Alan Price Set and others including Herbie Goynes, John Mayhal and Zoot Money. The "Tick" also helped introduce Mo-Town to the UK with The Supremes, Temptations and Stevie Wonder all appearing. There was also an in-house "Boutick" where you could buy great shirts and other clothes of the day.
