Subject: RE: Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s
Ah London......the clubs I used to visit, and floor sing, in the early 60's when I lodged in Hither Green and worked at the Glennifer Laundry on Bromley Road. Ballads & Blues, (or had it become the Singers Club by then?)The Unity Theatre, The Witches Cauldron...that was held on a Sunday afternoon, but I can't remember where, and the Troub of course. Bungies. Later years I sang at The Rose, Islington, Marquis of Clanricarde (The BBC Club), The Enterprise, Chalk Farm Road, in the days of Don Bonito & company, always a favourite club, Croydon folk club,Dingles, another favourite, The Rising Sun, Catford, Swan & Sugarloaf, Croydon, The Goat, St Albans, etc.etc. Memories. Speaking of memories.....Hello Roger Knowles, I remember sharing the bill with you at the MSG donkey's years ago. I remember your wife,Eileen?, being a good ballad singer. Great days, and the music still rolls on!
