The Gloucester Folk Club was my introduction to the folk club scene back in 1967 (hells teeth! 40 years ago!) It was a great club in the cellar of a local authority building I seem to remember, and there were many excellent guests played there, especially the Songwainers, as well as Pete Coe, and it's where I first met and heard Packie Manus Byrne. Ron Taylor was one of the clubs' main singers. It was the only dry club around in those days, so there was no dutch courage to be had before you floor spot.
