Thread Name: Bedford Folk Club has moved -- again!
Subject: RE: Bedford Folk Club has moved -- again!
You may have moved again, and the best of luck in the "new" venue but
it isn't exactly a new venue for folk in Bedford. When I lived there in the mid 70's I attended 'The Bedford Folk Club' at 'The Angel,' (before it fell), and two singaround clubs run by John Carson. One met at 'The Fleur de Lis' on Tuesdays and the other, on Fridays at 'The Fox and Hounds.'
There was a wonderful folk scene in Bedford in those days but with the hindsight of thirty odd years, I suppose it could be seen as the tail end of The Folk Revival back in the 60's when I first got interested in folk and sining myself.
I did make it up to the Fleur a few years ago and since I'll soon be mobile again I may try and re-visit the Fox.

Good luck to the club and all who sing in her.
