Topic: Lightnin' Hopkins photo info needed

[Pan]

I'm forwarding a question from the staff of the Finnish Blues News magazine:

"Does someone here happen to know where this cool picture of Lightnin' Hopkins originally comes from (and who would own the copyrights to it)?

I'm guessing that this particular jpg-image may have been scanned from an inner gatefold LP photo - or perhaps from some old magazine/book?

Any immediate help would be needed and of course very much appreciated. Thanks!"

It was taken at the 1964 AFBF, in Paris I think.

FWIW Patrice Champarou on the Post-War Blues list also confirms that the photo is from 1964, rather than -62. Apparently it was Hopkins's first trip to Europe.
The name of the night-club remains a mystery, though.
