GUEST,jim bainbridge folk club rooms i have dwelt in (60* d) RE: folk club rooms i have dwelt in 26 Nov 20

I was once on a trip to Jersey with Ken Lees & Taffy Thomas, about 1977 I'd guess... we were flown in a 4 seater to the folk club in Ailderney.
We arrived after weeks of serious gales & the club room was in a hotel on the beach. Unfortunately most of the beach seemed to be in the club room & the club was off. We went elsewhere, I think, but really can't remember. We went to a pub in the island's lovely main street at one stage, but the noise was more like a dockside pub in a big city & that was at 5pm!
They were all high on dirt cheap Hanky Bannister & overall it was quite an experience- asked later what he thought of Alderney, Taffy said ' bit like 300 alcoholics clinging to a rock'.

I had many lovely vists to Sark over the ears, but never back to Alderney- I wonder if it's changed?
