Thread Name: What got you hooked on folk music?
Subject: RE: What got you hooked on folk music?
I stumbled onto a folk club at my local youth club when I was 15 (1963) then saw Jesse Fuller on "Ready Steady Go!" one Friday night on the TV, but it was Derek Brimstone who got me hooked. I thought he was the greatest! (still do in fact.) I remember him coming into the shop where I worked and being all excited 'cos he'd just been booked for the Stevenage Folk Festival. I believe it was his first.
