Subject: RE: Q & A: What is a UK Folk Club?
Dear Mingulay,

I don't remember 'The Heron' in Stanground. There was a club in Stanground, at a pub called 'The Whittle Way'. This was run by a local group called 'The Heritage Folk' (or something similar - I remember that the word 'Heritage' featured somewhere). There is no doubt that the famous Pete Shaw was involved in some way. In fact, as far as I know, he's still involved in folkie activities in the P'boro area (don't get down there too often, these days). Pete's a great singer and musician and well worth a listen if you get the chance (a cheque will do nicely, Pete!).
