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

Same route Al, same people - throw in the Spinners, Clancy's and Dubliners and all your other points - especially the last sentence.

This will by my 50th year performing in folk clubs so I don't have time to waste. When it's called a Folk Club I would settle for 50.1% folks songs collected in or before the 19C. I want lots of open mike events so that live music of all kinds can be found.

I would like English Folk Music to have the popularity and standing that Irish Folk Music has - I am not sure why - probably because I think it would make lots of people happy.

Best wishes
