Les in Chorlton Why did Folk Clubs multiply in the 60s & 70s (39) RE: Why did Folk Clubs multiply in the 60s & 70s 27 Apr 16

Thanks Derrek,

I think that whole social thing of people between 16 and mid -late 20s meeting together was really crucial. Hard to sum up but still crucial. Did we become part of some minor cult? I don't mean that unkindly but 'Folkies' did become a recognisable group - at least to each other. We knew we could go to folk clubs miles away, meet like-minded people and be made welcome.

Out of this grew Folk Festivals like Whitby and Sidmouth where again we could meet like-minded people and be made welcome.
