GUEST,Vectis at work Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s (618* d) RE: Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s 09 Jul 01

The Troubadour, Ewan MacCall's club, Martin in the Fields crypt, Dingles - my first encounter with the Coppers. John had waist length hair then. The Phoebus Wakes at the Rising Sun, Catford. Parsons Pightle in the Purley area. The Swan and Sugarloaf in South Croydon. The Camden Lock club.
We'd all troup down to the Old Bull? in Farningham at the weekend for a run out.
Clive Bennett from the Troub is now a resident at the Seaford Club. Brixton Bert is now in Essex and still singing and playing.
The trouble with those times was the sheer number of clubs. I was never at home in the evenings. I got to a club with my guitar and usually some kind soul would take me home. Oh! Happy, Happy days.
I hope they come back even if I'll be too old to really take full advantage of them.
