Hello,

While I was up in the loft this morning I got sidetracked and discovered an old copy of a folk diary from the 1970 somethings called "The Penny Dreadful." I was one of those who was involved in producing it, but I had forgotten I still had a few copies left. What was fascinating was not only the number of clubs there were in SE London in those days, but also the theme of the articles. Is folk music dying? Where have all the audiences gone? I smiled quietly to myself at that point and thought, "Nothing much changes, does it?"

Does anyone else remember "The Penny dreadful?"

Best wishes,


Peter
