Thread Name: Review: Robin Hood Folk Club to close
Subject: RE: Review: Robin Hood Folk Club to close
I used to quite like it when it was in Brinsley at The Robin Hood pub. Although it was difficult for my disabled wife to get up and down the stairs. Then I started doing gigs on Saturday nights so I it moved when I wasn't looking.
I went a few times to the other venues but it all seemed not quite so good, not so cosy. it was very democratic club with some people reading songs from exercise books. Ruth Cooper did a remarkable job - keeping it going so long. It wouldn't have suited evrybody, but it seemed to suit a lot of people. I'm surprised one of the faithfgul doesn't want to keep it going - like I say they seemed very enthusiastic - always clued up about the latest folk song trends.
