Thread Name: Anyone remember Enfield Folk Club?
Subject: Anyone remember Enfield Folk Club?
The Aylesbury "Hop Poles" thread reminded me of the folk club in a pub of the same name that I used to attend in Enfield.

Prior to the Hop Poles it was at The Kings Head in the market place in Enfield Town. It moved to the Hop Poles in the late 60's.

As I recall it was run by Russ and Pam (can't remember their surname(s))

I was one of the resident singers there in the late 60's and early 70's and remember seeing Carthy and Swarbrick, Ralph McTell, Noel Murphy, Alex Campbell, The Dransfieeds, Alexis Corner, Diz Disley and loads of others there over the years.

I stopped going in the mid 70's. Anyone know how long it lasted and what happened to it?
