GUEST,Roger Fleming Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s (618* d) RE: Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s 26 Feb 10


I wrote last item in a hurry. Actually, on Tuesday evenings at the Sharpe House, I organised the instrumental workshops when we had at
our busiest time 3 beginners' classes (folk guitar), one I took myself. One intermediate class and one advanced class. I booked the teachers and arranged holiday reliefs. After the classes there was a Song Swop at which beginners were encouraged to perform before an audience. Also, experienced singers and instrumentalists would drop in to try out new material before using it at a club, such as Terry Gould, Peter Knight of Steeleye, Dave Cousins, etc.,
On Saturday evenings there was a folk club called the Folk Cellar originally run by Jack & Margaret King (anyone remember them?), I took over from them, and then Kevin Shiels followed me when I gave it up.
In the large hall above, folk dancing took place at the same time.
