Donald Kimfull


The Museum Of Drugs Paraphernalia And Related Antiquities has at long last tracked down an image of Donald Kimfull as he appeared in later life, reinvented as Joseph Dean of Dean's Bar Tangiers. According to a number of sources, including April Ashley, Britain's first person to undergo a successful gender realignment operation, Dean of Dean's Bar was allegedly none other than the elusive character involved in the supply of cocaine and opium to the late Billie Carleton 1918. Avoiding the inquest into the actresses death, Kimfull went on to become the proprietor of the Bar in Tangiers, host to the literary and art set alongside international spies. The bar went on to become the template for the movie Casablanca.

Museum Band of The Year Award

This year we see the launch of our Band of the Year Award, the prestigious music industry event of the year. We are celebrating winners, Codeine Velvet Club, a new band that sees the creative genius of Lou Hickey and the Fratelli's Frontman John Lawler.
In second place came Terry Lyn for her albulm Kingston Logic, with it's rally against the IMF.
Due out soon will be the latest edition of the Imbiber Magazine with mor information. February will also see the scheduling of the Somerlayton Antiques Roadshow, where we hope to see the Museum Curator lurking in the background in a vain attempt to get the collection assessed and valued.
