Thread Name: What first attracted you to folk?
Subject: RE: What first attracted you to folk?
A folk club started in my local pub so I went out of interest but the Damascus Road moment was when I heard two tracks from the red Waterson's record and I had never heard anything like it before, That was in 1969. I started my singing career soon afterwards; I'm still singing and the club, after many re-incarnations, is still running. But I do think that the seeds were sown in the Junior school with Wiliam Appleby's "Singing Together"
