Market Rasen Folk Club
Although only open for one night, see the scanned document below from a person who came along to the opening evening, and who sent this letter to the local Market Rasen Mail. Will this allow my club to be included or not?
Out of interest, my resident band is a very good group called CARA plus support artistes such as Stitherum, Johhny Blanks, Lucy Wright and Paul Young, Colin and Karen Thompson, Mick Pearce, Liam Robinson, Diathi and Bloke in the corner, Mike Wray and a person waiting in the wings called Phillip.
All of these artists, are from Gainsborough Folk Club, Barton On Humber Folk Club, Louth Folk Club and Lincoln Folk Club. They are all within 20 to 30 miles from my club. Market Rasen is literally in the centre of all these clubs. This means that I can call on many good quality artists to support my venture.
I am sure as time goes on their will be many more artists appearing at the club, allowing me to change the format on a regular basis. Watch this space. I already have Bill Whaley and Dave Fletcher appearing as main guests on Friday June the 4th.


Anyway the letter reads as follows :-

A fantastic night of folk music
EDITOR, Thanks to an article in your recent edition regarding the first night of a Folk Club in the town's Social Club on Friday, I would like you to know that our party of six locals who decided go along to see what was in store had a thoroughly entertaining evening
There were some excellent performances from a number of artistes. In particular a young woman of about 18 years of age who, we were informed, had recently sung on Radio Lincolnshire, a woman from.Barton and a man from Worksop, and many other excellent performances from those who had travelled some distance, showing their personal determination to help get the Market Rasen Folk Club up and running.
The organiser tells us he hopes to make the Folk Night a two weekly event after May.
If it is anything like as good as we saw on Friday then I would hope that your office would find it an entertaining event worth following up.

Stable Way, Market Rasen.
