Thread Name: UK's Oldest Folk Club
Subject: RE: UK's Oldest Folk Club
The Topic in Bradford opened in november 1956 and was the first Folk Club outside London. It is still the longest surviving club, but has moved venue on a number of occasions. Originally in an upstairs room at a chinese restaurant, it spent many years on Friday nights at the Star on Westgate. Currently at the Melborn on Whiteabbey TRoad on a Thursday evening.
Quack!
