Les Cousins was a folk and blues club in the basement of a restaurant in Greek Street, in the Soho district of London, England.
"[8] Notable performers included Alexis Korner, Ralph McTell, The Young Tradition, Sandy Denny, Bert Jansch, Alex Campbell, Wizz Jones, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Marc Brierley, Nick Drake, Al Stewart, Long John Baldry, The Incredible String Band, John Martyn, Cat Stevens, Jackson C. Frank, Martin Carthy, Linda Thompson, Julie Felix, Bridget St John, Donovan, Bob Dylan, The Watersons, Arlo Guthrie, Stephane Grappelli and Diz Disley, Davey Graham, Spider John Koerner, Anne Briggs, Stefan Grossman, Champion Jack Dupree, and Tom Rush, Dave and Toni Arthur, The Sallyangie (a duo consisting of siblings Mike and Sally Oldfield) among others.
[9] On 24 November 2004, Les Cousins was reopened for a special Nick Drake tribute, to celebrate his brief but influential career.
[12] In 1970 a compilation LP 49 Greek Street was released,[citation needed] featuring artists associated with the club such as Synanthesia, Keith Christmas, Andy Roberts, Robin Scott, Tin Angel, Al Jones, Mike Hart and Nadia Cattouse, although most of the tracks were studio recordings.
Ironically, according to Emma Matheou whose father ran the club, the door depicted on the cover is from another address in Greek Street.
