Subject: RE: Folk Clubs, Greater Manchester 1960-99
Nobody seems to have mentioned the folk club upstairs at the Old Clock Face Hotel at the bottom of Toad Lane in Rochdale. I was an irregular attender in the 1960's and remember Mike Harding and Harry Boardman dropping in there.
The stairs were steep and the room long and very narrow. The club could be so packed that it reminded you of those 'how many people can you get in a mini car' competitions.
