Blacksmith's Arms, Shirley, on Mondays, Fo'c'sle on Wednesdays and Balladeer on Fridays, both at the Bassett Hotel.
Drummond Arms, Hythe, for the Cuty Wren, then there was another club in East Steet and the University Folk Club at the University, Sundays.
Also there was the Waterfront at Woolston, which mover following the pub having caught fire.
And does anyone remember the Wishing Well coffee bar, firs in St. Mary Street then later in Onslow Road? Run by a Nick Somebody-or-other and open late until very early (or late) in the morning. Excellent coffee, folk music on the stereo unless we were all singing, and a lot of lovely customers, many of whom named above.
BTW, Brian Hooper taught me French at Taunton's School!
