I believe The Valley Folk Club started its life in the Cross Hotel now the Community Centre in 1968? It then moved to The Dynevor Arms. The club shifted around a bit before settling at its present HQ
at The Ivy Bush Hotel in the High Street.
Mick, Didn't you do a folk programme on Swansea Sound in the early days?
I revived the show in 1981 and it ran for 19 years!
I like to think that I qualify as a past regular of the club!
Mary Hopkin also frequented The Valley Folk Club along with the aforementioned Max Boyce.
Those were the days my friends!!
