Thread Name: Nutters in Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: Nutters in Folk Clubs
Andy - the other Bournemouth club was the Wessex Traditional Folk Club, Fridays at the Pembroke Arms. The pub became a sort of folk centre after we started there on fridays in late 1964. The room was originally a boxing gym, complete with ring. Eventually Morris and rapper teams used it to practice in, and the Free Express took on the Sunday night for the 'contemporary' stuff.

Oh, and we had our nutters as well - anyone remember Nick Collis-Bird? Nice bloke but could always be relied upon to go over the top.
