All London's live music

On 17th September 1929, a new theatre group was formed, consisting of 17 members keen to pursue their dramatic interests. They titled themselves, somewhat clumsily, the Ealing Junior Arts Club (dramatic section). Naturally the Ealing Arts Club objected and a new name had to be quickly found. So in a Soho restaurant one Sunday in November 1929, Alec Payne (the group's first director) came up with a new name "The Questors". It seems that this was accepted mainly because nobody had thought of any better alternatives by the time they had reached the coffee.
