Subject: RE: At what age did YOU start a folk club?
I was 20 years old when me and Peter Fawcett started the Hartshead Moortop Folk Club (near Cleckheaton, just up the road from the Hartshead Moor Services on the M62) that was 31 years ago, it only lasted a year but it was good while it lasted. We had some good guests on, Bonnie Shaljean, John Leonard & John Squire, Tom McConville, Martin Wyndham-Read, Bob Stewart, Peter Bond and others. We also encouraged less know artists as well. I've never run another since! although I am involved with Cleckheaton Folk Festival.
