The Bull's Head, Barnes

The pub itself dates from at least the 17th century and the present building was constructed in 1846, the pub having been purchased in 1831 by what became Young's Brewery. 1959–2012 The Bull opened as a jazz venue in 1959 and, under the management of Albert Tolley, In 1982, Dan Fleming took over the premises and the venue continued to flourish with its jazz roster. Fleming added blues and rock acts to its listings, a policy which continues to this day. The venue featured in Martin Scorsese's History of the Blues (2003). The Yamaha Room became 'The Bolan Room' for pub dining and the Thai kitchen across the courtyard named 'The Stables' was closed and converted into 'The Jazz Room'. In much need of acoustic improvement, it was opened at the beginning of 2014. ==Musicians who have performed at the Bulls Head in Barnes==
