Mike.....Beat you I'm 42!

I was at The Pot House Folk Club in Hartlepool on Friday evening...it is run by TThe Young 'uns
....3 lads in their early 20's. It was vibrant, funny and eclectic. Sean & Mike from the Young 'uns made a very good job at getting around the room and talking to everyone.

This is a "singaround" club not a "performance" club.....I do think we need opportunities for both though. There have always been paid musicians, they are as much part of the tradition as an informal sing.
