This is Paul Lincoln, ex- challenger and fighter for the world middle weight wrestling championship. Why a wrestler on these pages? When not in the ring, he is serving Froffy Coffee behind the bar of his Soho coffee bar. To all of his customers he is known as 'The President'. He and his partner, fellow Australian, Ray Hunter, were the owners of the fabled 'Two I's' coffee bar.

Between them they changed the British music scene forever. Nearly every rock'n'roll and skiffle star of the day, played at the 'Two I's'. These pages pays homage to that Hallowed place.
