GUEST,Angieb Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s (618* d) RE: Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s 12 Feb 10


Hi. I've just stumbled over this thread (being new to Mudcat). What a trip down memory lane. Fond memories of the Tower Folk Club, with Dympna and Sheila Messenger as residents (also Paul Havell?) plus others. The club in Middlesex Street at the Kings Stores was the Peelers Folk Club, run by Joe and Anne Palmer and Roger and Kay Nicholson. The Peelers group then were Joe Palmer, Tom Madden and Jim Younger. Great Saturday nights at the club, then back for a 'session' somewhere and then off to the Favourite for a wonderful Sunday lunchtime session. (Sadly the Favourite is I believe now buried under the Arsenal car park). Also Friday nights at Hoddesdon Folk Club with the Crownsmen. Bounds Green on a Sunday night. I believe 'Bonded Boots' (Dave Walters and Howard Bond) were residents there. Also many visits to Dingles and the Black Bull at Barnet.
Great Days. I was there for your first gig with Packie, Bonnie, memorable!! You've got me thinking now.
