ian1943 What Brought You to Trad? (116* d) RE: What Brought You to Trad? 18 Jun 12


At Junior School we sang to William Appleby's 'Singing Together'. At home my parents were singers and at Christmas and New Year we joined with their friends and sang. Then it was blues and traditional jazz and Lonnie Donnegan and the establishment of a folk club in the locality in 1969 but the Damascus Road moment came when I called for my pal Jim one Friday night and he invited me in to listen to tracks from his new record which was the red Waterson's record and I've never looked back, met some wonderful people,drunk countless pints, sung even more songs and, at 68, really look forward to each folk club night. There has been Durham City Folk Festival, Durham Folk Party, Ryder, McCulloch, Ryder and the increasingly venerable Durham City Folk Club. It has been and will continue to be FUN!
