Les in Chorlton Who invented Folk Clubs UK (184* d) RE: Who invented Folk Clubs UK 20 Dec 13

Hello Al, I just wondered why it took you so long to respond.

I started this thread to explore the origin and evolution of Folk Clubs in the UK because I think they have been and remain an amazing phenomena.I think that question has been answered but as often happens on here we get back to the "What is Folk" question and "Why are their less Folk Clubs than their used to be".

I will do what most people do on here I probably want go back and read eveything again. But somewhere between the 1954 definition (songs from within a community, passed on orally, author uknown) and the looser - anything sung in a folk club since 1954 - lie many, many definitions or descriptions.

I guess yours lies near the second of these two?
