GUEST,Jack King Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s (618* d) RE: Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s 08 Jul 10


just to put the record straight Margaret & I took over the Cellar from Peter Kennedy who ran it on much more informal lines and together with Mike Robinson built it up over the years into a more formal arrangement. We were very lucky in persuading guests to perform as the fees were derisory and when the guests got paid we didnt Happily many old mates were always willing to appear including Colin Wilkie &Shirley Hart,Alex Campbell Martin Winsor Redd Sullivan Pete& Marion Maynard Martin Carthy& the Spinners to mention but a few.I think however that some of the best evenings were the Come All Yees particularly when "Atrocity Alley were in fullcry ,singersfrom the floor included Gerry Fox ,Mick Flynn,Brian Norman & ayoung hopeful named Noel Murphy!!!!Happy days. We handed the club over in the mid sixties to Tony Dean& the Laymen & Tony Rose. and finally left Folk Music about 1974.Hope this brings back a few memories
