Had a great time, managed to lose my mobile, great to see Ted and Ivy Poole [Swindon Folk Club] still going strong.

The Ashford Road Social Club In my opinion is quite a good venue [and i see quite a lot of different folk clubs,it is in a seperate upstairs venue, there is a downstairs bar selling real ale at cheap prices, so there is no noise from the bar in the folk room, there was a little bit of very occasional noise from downstairs, but nothing that was off putting to me as a performer.
I think it is one of the better venues[ along with the Prince of Wales, In union street] that SWINDON FOLK CLUB has been in, and i have been a regular booked performer since 1979.
Ted and Ivy Poole have been involved in organising the club for over fifty years., and they are smashing people, I recommend this club to anyone and can guarantee that any strangers will get a warm welcome and be made to feel at home. Dick Miles
