Thread Name: Best Folkies from out of Greater Manchester
Subject: RE: Best Folkies to come out of Greater Manc
I remember the Liverpool Poets Adrain Henri, Brian Pattern, Roger McGough, Mike McGear (McCartney) and lots more. Andy Roberts(?) The Liverpool Scene?

It's true Drummer that the Scouse invasion of all things was a real phenomena of which the folk scene was a part. The Spinners were refered to as the other "fab four" at least by the Liverpool Echo.

Perhaps the scouse folkies don't get to the Mudacat but if they do perhaps they can tell us of great folk on a par with Harry et el and Fairport etc never came out of Liverpool.

Perhaps it lies in Liverpool really being the Capital of Ireland?
