GUEST,twm909 Folklore: 'The Singer's Club' (100* d) RE: Folklore: 'The Singer's Club' 06 Mar 24

In an advert in JAZZ NEWS for 13 September 1961, the Ballads and Blues announced the opening of the SEVENDOWN club at 7 Carlisle Street, just off Soho Square, on Saturday, 16th September, with two sessions, one at 7.30 pm and another at 11.00 pm, the latter presumably offering an alternative to the Troubadour's late night session on a Saturday. The Ballads and Blues intended to open on several nights of the week but, by May 1962, SING was only listing the 7.30 pm Saturday session.

As for the Singers Club, the programme booklet for Pete Seeger's UK visit in October and November 1961 had this note at the bottom of a page: "The Singers' Club meets weekly at the Plough, 27 Museum Street, London W.1.". Neither the night nor start time is mentioned
