Yes Ringwood Folk Club is really good ; one never knows quite what to expect ! I was there a few years back ,in the 90s , to see Martin Carthy ; despite extensive advertising , only about 8 people turned up !! MC Rod Bingham apologised profusely to Martin, who was completely unfazed , and we enjoyed a very close up and personal ( or so it felt ) evening. On another evening we had Jeremy Taylor , and unbeknown to him , in the audience ,were several people from the village he used to live in in South Africa ! That made for an interesting evening,I can tell you . And ; do not miss Forest Folk at Boarhunt , either !! You might get fish & chips if you're lucky !
