Oh it me Tyke i'm at aaardvarks house recovering from the Whtby Folk Week The Doctor say's i should be sober enought to drive by Tuesday. I digress The Topic Folk Club has been running since 1956 with out a break I belive. As I have pointed out it was formed by the Bradford Comunist Party who all resigned in protest when the Russians Sent the tanks in to take controll of? (Now was it Hungary?). The Topic was then formed so that they could still meet on a Friday Night and sing the same songs. The Grove Folk Club in Leeds though established in 1960 has had probaly more than one or two breaks of more than a couple of weeks. However it can claim to have one of the oldest original Organiser who is Still going Strong. Yes Geof Wood! who is also a folk Song collect or of some note With Lish Young Bria Broom as just one of his credit's. Good on you Geof keep up the good work is what I say and who care who is the oldest I'm only interested in the young at heart! That keeps the traditional music fresh and alive! Please excuse the spelling as I'm still recovering from the Tap n Spile and whitby Folk Week!
