Thread Name: Who invented Folk Clubs?
Subject: RE: Who invented Folk Clubs?
I was member of the Walthamstow Clarion Cycling Club 1948 - '55. Clarion Cycling Clubs were leftwing orientated. We used to sing as we rode home after a Sunday outing. "I love to go a-wandering" "She'll be coming round the mountain", etc. Stuff like that and others.
First mobile folk club? We paid membership!!
Later on a Sunday night, I'd be at the Magnolia Jazz club/Pub in Edmonton.
