Thread Name: Where have all the folkies gone?
Subject: RE: Where have all the folkies gone?
Sadly I haven't been in a folk club for years now.Do they still exist. I was part of the Leeds scene in my younger days when there were clubs going nearly every night of the week if you could travel around the area. From the Adelphi and the Grove out to the Maypole at Barwick. As one musical genre has led to another across my life. I now find myself an enthusiastic choral singer! I still want to sing the words though when I hear some of the Vaughn William orchestral pieces which originated in folk songs .. 'A fine young man it was indeed ..'
