GUEST,Bruce Michael Baillie Yorkshire folk clubs 60's and 70's (193* d) RE: Yorkshire folk clubs 60's and 70's 03 Feb 10

Merlins Nest at T'Owd Sair at Linthwaite, Saturday nights (hang on a minute? That was the 1980's?) The Bare Knuckle Boys near Holmfirth, Thursday nights was it or Wednesday? The Hartshead Moortop folk club at the Old Packhorse Inn? let me see, who ran that one? I remember Bradford University Folk Club at the Queens Hall Bradford. The Three Owls at Kirkburton, which later moved to the Golden Ball at Shepley, Hudds. The George in Cleckheaton, (Thursdays)first place I ever played in public, Mike Harding was guest that night, that would be January 11th 1973! The Anchor in Brighouse, Saturday night. The Old Bluebell in Bury which doesn't really count cos it was in Lancashire but it was still a bloody good club and they gave me some of my first gigs, was it Alan and Jean Seymour who used to run it?
