I remember the opening night of the Shotley Bridge folk club in Co Durham in 1965 I was organiser and we had a guest singer playing when a few local yobo's, who had come into the club because it was their local, insisted on talking during the songs, I went over to them and asked them not to talk during songs at which point I was asked to "Go outside and sort it out there" There were about five of them so they left the room and I followed thinking what the hell am I going to do now, but at the door they looked over my head and calmed down that was when I looked behind to find that I had been followed out by about seven six foot tall bearded Morris men who had noticed what was happening. We then all reasoned with the locals explaining that others wanted to hear the songs and that they were disturbing them In the end the locals begged to be let back in and every week after that if anyone talked during songs it was them who hushed the talkers up and they became valuable club members. It seemed that they just didn't know that folk audiences listened to the words. Cheers Bill
