The Aba Daba Music Hall was co-founded by Aline Waites in 1969 at the Mother Redcap in Camden Town, London, England. The other original directors were David Ryder Futcher, Barrymore Brown, and Janet Browning. It transferred to the "Pindar of Wakefield" the following year, and stayed there until 1985, when the Pindar was sold and renamed "The Water Rats".
