Subject: RE: Louth Folk Club
Hallo everyone, just found this chat room, whilst searching for a song! You will all probably know my brother Tom of blues, skiffle and jazz fame?! Tom and I ran the Louth folk club in the seventies along with 'Silverbirch' etal. Had great evenings in the old Louth Youth Club, near the football ground before moving to the Poacher and the the Woodman. I remember it first at the Fleece un Upgate, when John Connally and Bill Meek came with 'The Meggies' along with Brian Dawson etal. Oh what great days they were. Tom is still in Louth, I sadly moved from Lince in 1988 and find my self in Leamington Spa now. The local folk scene is absolutely s..t! Lots of talent but no-one will came to any folk clubs to support them these days. (We did a Ceilidh last Saturday - 6 piece band, caller and 2 dancers turned up - do we qualify for the Guinness Book of Records?!) It would be nice to chat to some of you. All the very best Bob.
