Thread Name: Collapse of the Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: Collapse of the Folk Clubs
I come from Henley-On-Thames, and,years ago, in the sixties, that area was a folk "wilderness ", no club, no local musicians, no morris sides, or none of those three that I ever saw or heard of !! But nowadays, it"s BRILLIANT !! Nearby Nettlebed has one of the premier folk-clubs in the country, and equally nearby Wallingford has at least 3 pub sessions a month, usually with Bill McKinnon, and of course the annual Bunkfest. Then there"s "Readifolk" every week at Caversham, and Knowl Hill isn"t that far away for seeing Leadfingers ( and George !! ).   What next ??---The Cookham Cloggers? The Rotherfield Rappers?? Mapledurham Molly ?? Who knows?? ( I moved back to Henley to live YESTERDAY ( !! ) , so lots of things to go to and see now, I"m glad to say ! )
