r.padgett Who invented Folk Clubs UK (184* d) RE: Folklore: Who invented Folk Clubs UK 16 Aug 13


Yes I concur with all said above! if it matters

Tommy Steele and early coffee bars, public houses and the traditional singers of Walter Pardon, Fred Jordan ilk etc

Jazz and American influence,Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee pivotal Lonnie Donegan and Wallie Whyton Bert Weedon, TV and Joe Brown

Post War and Cold War and Communism, somewhere were people made own entertainment and met convivially ~ Social History an awareness/performance poetry

Topic and Leeds Grove (both still active!!)

Barnsley Local Authority leaned more toward "popular" entertainment using Folk Music and the early creation of professional folk entertainers and musicians [Dave Burland for example]

Scottish/Irish/Welsh music, empowerment of the working classes!!

I won't bother with the book
