Subject: RE: Q & A: What is a UK Folk Club?
I have just got home from a 'Singers Night' at what HAS to be one of the better small clubs in Southern England - Maidenhead , at the Seven Stars , Knowl Hill . The landlord likes having us there , the beer is GOOD (Breakspears) and the room has excellent acoustics . We had nearly thirty people , who ALL paid Two Pounds for the evening , and Sixteen Floor spots did their thing , which ranged from Poetry reading , through a variety of songs , traditional and contemporary , with or with out accompaniment , and a few tunes as well . We had three guitars , two conertinas , one mandolin , one 5 string banjo , one excellent fiddle player and some superb singing . For MY money , thats a UK Folk Club !
