Jim Carroll What is Happening to our Folk Clubs (1104* d) RE: What is Happening to our Folk Clubs 26 Oct 17


"When the traddies grabbed the folk clubs in 1970's and 1980's, "
The Traddiress didn't "grab the clubs" Al - Lomax, MacColl and Lomax started them in the 1950s
Probably the first folk concert ever held in Britain was at The THeatre Royal, Stratford, East London around that time
The theatre Royal was the venus or MacColl and Joan Littlewood's 'Theatre Workshop'
The Traddies were on the club scene first - the rest of you became hangers on later
