Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 17 Jan 24 - 04:43 PM FreddyHeadey - I can't find any history on Maidenhead's FC website or anywhere else. The only reference to a date is a post above by RJM 26 Jul 23 - 04:45 PM - Maidenhead, 1965? I searched for "maidenhead 2015" & found an article about the Nettlebed Folk Song Club turning 40 that year, (it was started in July 1975 by a group of folk song lovers from Maidenhead when the tenant of a local public house moved to the Bull Inn at Nettlebed) so I've added it to the list. ........... thanks & GUEST & guest San Francisco Folk Music Club (US) - founded 1948 Bush Music Club (Aus) - founded 1954 Topic in Bradford (UK) - founded 1956 Bridge Folk Club Newcastle (UK) - 1958 Edinburgh University Folk Society (UK) - April 1958 Vancouver Folk Song Society (Can) - July 1959 The Folksong Society of Greater Boston (US) - 1959 Victorian Folk Music Club (Aus) - 1959 Swindon Folk Club (UK) - Jan 1960 Dunfermline Folk Club (UK) - 1961 Stockton Folk Club (UK) - 1962 Aberdeen Folk Club (UK) - 1962 Birtley Folk Club (UK) - 1962 & closed December 2014 Herga (UK) - 1963 The Fo'c's'le (formerly Balladeer) Southampton (UK) - 1963 Marsden Folk Club (UK)- 1963 The Pick'n & Sing'n Gather'n (US) - 1960s Grimsby Folk Club (UK) - 1964 Folklore Society Of Greater Washington (US) - 1964 Black Diamond Folk Club, Birmingham (UK) - 1964 Cambridge Folk Club (UK) - 1964 Southport's Bothy Folksong Club (UK) - 1965 Orpington Folk Club (UK) - 1965 Whitby (UK) - similar age to Orpington Cutty Wren Folk Club, Redcar (UK) - 1965 Folk at the Royal Oak, Lewes (UK) - 1965 Yellow Door, Montreal (Can) - 1966 Croydon Folk Club (UK) - 1967 BACCApipes Folk Club (UK) - 1967 Frodsham Folk Club (Cheshire UK) - Jan 1968 Christchurch Folk Club (formerly Bank Peninsula Folk Club) (NZ) - est.

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: GUEST Date: 17 Jan 24 - 05:25 PM hi Sandra Do you know of any events being planned by the BMC to celebrate the 70th anniversary this year? I guess there'll be something at the NFF. cheers, Ian |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 18 Jan 24 - 02:18 AM we have plans! I'll post them on the blog - done! BMC turns 70 this year & we have plans! As to the National, we have been refused even tho we are Australia's oldest folk club - the artistic directors are not traditional musos & ignored the mention of our 70th birthday. Our very successful Saplings music & song program for kids 8-18 - well, the very upset Coordinator was told there are other styes of music for the young people - the alternate group mentioned are Irish. (Wot! no Australian?) Concertina Convergence, Bush Camp, Bush Orchestra have also been rejected, but Bush Traditions sessions are in - yah! some trad Oz music. The program is on its way & I look forward to reading it. About NFF 2024 NFF artists |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: G-Force Date: 18 Jan 24 - 03:58 AM Maidenhead Folk Club has been running continuously since the early 1970's, though with several changes of both 'management' and venue. I believe there were other clubs there before that. |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 18 Jan 24 - 04:54 AM thanks, G-Force, & no doubt the history is hidden in dusty newspaper archives & tattered folk newsletters (those that survived) in attics & basements. Of course, snippets of memories are probably deep in the grey cells of some old folkies too!

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: GUEST,Lang Johnnie More Date: 18 Jan 24 - 12:33 PM Out of genuine curiosity, how many of these clubs still exist, and how many have run continuously, uninterrupted since they started ? |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Rex Date: 19 Jan 24 - 01:19 PM I don't see the Denver Folklore Center in this list. My friend Harry Tuft opened the DFC in 1962. He patterned it after the Folklore Center in New York created by Izzy Young. The DFC is still going strong but Harry has left Saul Rosenthal to hold the reins. Harry is following his first love of folk music which is performing and he's enjoying much more of that these days. Denver Folklore Center |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Rex Date: 22 Jan 24 - 03:19 PM Sandra, I thank you for starting this list and staying to it these many years. If I may, unless there is some formulae that must be followed, the name of Harry's creation is, the "Denver Folklore Center". Not to put too fine a point on it. |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Helen Date: 22 Jan 24 - 03:45 PM The history of Newcastle and Hunter Valley Folk Club in NSW Australia. As you can see from the article there is not a clear idea of how our local folk club started but the date is close to 60 years ago. One date mentioned is December 1964, so sixty years at the end of this year. I first went to the club sometime around 1974 and was a member of the committee for a few years in the mid '80's, including being the Secretary and compiling the newsletter. I used to go regularly to the club nights and also the annual Newcastle Folk Festival, which is now defunct. I haven't been to any folk club events for about 20 or 30 years but I still play music every week with people I met through the club. |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Felipa Date: 22 Jan 24 - 06:29 PM Phil Shapiro ran Bound for Glory, a radio programme with live performers in front of a live audience, from the coffee house in Willard Straight Hall of Cornell University from 1967-2020. Web sources indicate that while the radio programme continues, it is no longer run from a public venue. When I attended Bound for Glory in the 1970s, it felt more like a folk club than a radio production. |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 22 Jan 24 - 09:27 PM oops, it was just a very little typo!! (if I knew how to do fancy stuff in Mudcat I could have typed the word "little" in much smaller font as I can do in emails!) Helen - I found a program for the Purple Parrot Folk Club in BMC Archives a few years ago & sent it to Bilbo. I'm still on the club mailing list even tho I haven't done BMC's What's on since the days BC. A couple of years ago I even went to a concert, I was prepared to catch the train, but friends were driving. Felipa - definitely sounds like a folk club! One of our local community radio programs has guests in the studio each week, but the program shows a lot of tracks from other artists around their contributions.

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Bill D Date: 15 Mar 24 - 09:19 AM Well, The FSGW (Folklore Society of Greater Washington) just happens to turn 60 this year! [In the early posts of this thread, I noted it at 45½] Sadly, deaths, aging, moving, and COVID have diminished our activities, but so far, the Getaway survives and monthly programs go on...the Open Sing is now 'usually' online, but occasionally there is an in-person gathering. My own recent move will limit my own activities, but I've attended every Getaway since 1978. |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Dave the Gnome Date: 04 Apr 24 - 08:32 AM I thought I had mentioned Swinton Folk Club before but can't find it so I obviously didn't! Running since the 70s and at the same venue and time since not long after that. Can't be sure of the exact dates though. |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Dave the Gnome Date: 04 Apr 24 - 11:07 AM Thanks Sandra, much appreciated. The website can no longer be updated because our webmaster, Gary Wright, sadly passed away and no-one has access to it! Anyhow, it confirms that the club did start as a guitar class at the White Lion in 1972. Over the next few years it changed day and location a few times finally finishing back at the White Lion in 1981 where it has been ever since. That makes it, allowing for 4 weeks a year off, over two and half thousand Monday nights at the same venue :-D |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 04 Apr 24 - 05:42 PM a tiny error in counting. I wonder how many sites on the WWW are similarly locked, fortunately the blog I maintain Bush Music Club, est. 1954 & still going strong is also under the supervision of a very techy member, my Personal Help Desk! |

Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? From: Sol Date: 07 Apr 24 - 01:01 PM Be a good idea to have a similar thread for 'the youngest folk club'. If nothing else, the exposure may help expand their membership nos. Just a thought. |

Sadly both Pam and Alan have passed away but, at our 50th Birthday celebrations in October 2023, the team, guests and audience raised a glass to remember their friendship, achievements and amazing contributions to the music world. The Dartford Folk Club is now managed by a small team of original members in memory of and as a legacy to Pam & Alan's love for music.
