Les in Chorlton Review: New book - Singing from the Floor (168* d) RE: Review: New book - Singing from the Floor 18 Mar 14

As I remember, as best I can, we went to folk clubs for a range of reasons: the music, the venue, friends, beer, sex, politics, the feeling of being part of an obscure underground activity and more.

As I/we aged some of these features fell away either personally - friends/sex or socially - venues closed.

Few of the audience continued to go every week and so clubs closed. The 60/70s folk clubs were our generational thing - we have grown old and died together.

Now, back to the Book! I think it is an excellent read and a great way to explore a musical and social phenominon.

Thanks Mr Bean
