What clubs would people recommend? I have a strong preference for traditional song (though I am not a singer), and I recite some Australian poems. |

You'll find most of the floor singers there do trad songs as well, and you might get the chance to recite a poem. Brian Peters website |

09 Sep 17 - 02:01 PM (#3876163) Subject: RE: Folk Clubs London Oct 17 From: GUEST,Peter Sharps and Cellar Upstairs are probably the most reliably "trad". Islington is a little more mixed, they have Pete Cooper and Richard Bolton on the 26th. Musical Traditions have Niamh Parsons in conjunction with the Return to Camden Town Festival. Twickfolk will be closed due to a major event at the stadium There are also plenty of concerts such as the Jim Causley one recommended above. (The Goose also run a monthly folk club but it doesn't meet while you are in London) |
