TWO PENCE WORTH.. here's mine,
Wot makes a great folk club? I guess the answers to that would be as varied as the answers to your real question, We are all looking thru oour own eyes after all.
For me, I love a good SAR, egletarianism must prevail here though.
But then I enjoy those crazy songwriter typs, too, with their depth & modern ways! (!)
Still ... I LOVE great Harmonies in Traditional singing, and rousing chorusses... oh hell!
I like the one I like at the time, at this time, it's the Bluestone FC at Old Hartley, Near Whitley Bay in the Sunny North East of England. Now, if you's asked me 25 years ago....
