Thread Name: Who invented Folk Clubs?
Subject: RE: Who invented Folk Clubs?
Whoever it was,they certainly overlooked Henley on Thames, John !! Although I did pop over to see John Renbourn in a club-type place in Bray ( aged 14 ,I think !! ) Me,that is. I discovered Sidmouth in 1965, after teaming up with a fellow Say-Lye-Or who came from there (Robin Tedbury )---I got the impression that "The Forge" folk-club had been going since the 1950s. I think it"s under the swimming-pool now,though !!
