Mrs Duck - When people sing "The Folker" they usually insert their current location (or somewhere nearby) into the song - I chatted up Linda at "The Tudor Barn", Eltham, hence my use of it.

A high percentage of my working life was spent on contracts in strange places (some of them very strange) and Folk Clubs provided a very quick and convenient way of finding friends - especially among the opposite sex. It was quite interesting to notice how many of my non-folkie colleagues suddenly began to aquire a liking for Folk Clubs.

Aah - those were the days - liasons always seemed to be "Cool" then !
