Artists

[edit]
  • Elton John and Joni Mitchell are more usually associated with the LA Troubadour Club. Their names seems out of place on this list so I have removed them but I'm happy to be corrected. Simon Latham (talk) 22:06, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bob Dylan - played in December 1962 or January 1963 probably as a guest of Richard Farina, Eric von Schmidt and Ethan Signer and possibly performing under the name 'Blind Boy Grunt' [1] - this is supported by photographs,
  • Paul Simon - played in early 1965 probably supported by Todd Lloyd - this is supported in Simon's bio,
  • Paul Simon - I used to go to "the Troub" in the 1960's. Whilst I did not see Paul perform there, Redd Sullivan and Martin Windsor used to talk about him to me. Colin.
  • and Elvis Costello - needs work - no evidence of this.

[edit]

I could never work out why Bruce disliked me - I had Sunday lunch in the Troubador for 20 years 1974-84, and he was always extremly surly to me. Was it something I had done to annoy him, or was he surley with everyone? I often wondered.

But the 'resting' nymphet actresses who waited and cooked were delightful!

Requested move 25 August 2022

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved, somewhat boldly, to Troubadour (London nightclub) along with Troubadour (West Hollywood nightclub). The comma convention is used almost exclusively for populated places, and there is basically agreement that the titles proposed by 64.229 are consistent with how we name amenities. The concern that it's not really a nightclub has been noted, but has been refuted, and no better alternative has been proposed, so here we go.

The Troubadour, London → ? – The name of the club is "Troubadour" and not "The Troubadour". I'm not sure why the original article was titled using The as "The" has nothing to do with the name of the historic music club and coffee house in London established in 1954. It is also very low in search engine results, well below Troubadour in LA even though they were were establised in 1957, 3 years later than Troubadour in London and their wiki page says that they copied the historic club in London even down to the typestyle in their building sign. 2601:188:CA80:E410:3199:B8BF:725:984A (talk) 15:00, 25 August 2022 (UTC) Nomination updated, originally requested a change to Troubadour but this is clearly not the primary topic. Other options discussed below. Primefac (talk) 08:16, 29 August 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 08:52, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If we're saying that the articles are about the venue and not the building, then shouldn't it be Troubadour (British nightclub) and Troubadour (American nightclub)? 162 etc. (talk) 01:03, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There was a similarly-named nightclub in Bristol (Bristol Troubadour Club), so "British" is probably not enough disambiguation. Troubadour (London nightclub) would be OK. Tevildo (talk) 06:01, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am local and have been many times. Everyone calls it "The Troubador". It is not a nightclub! There is a basement room for music gigs, but I cannot recall any nightclub type events with dancing and/or DJs. Edwardx (talk) 09:54, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
