Just curious if anyone remembers or attended any of the "Clanfolk" sessions at the Marquis of Clanricarde in Bayswater in the late 60s? "Clanfolk" was the name of the BBC Folk Club. Pete Charlton ran it for many years - I ran it for 6 months around 1970 - and I've no idea what happened to it after about 1972 or so. We booked some great acts of the time - Leon Rosselson, Martin Carthy, Tim Hart & Maddy Prior, the Yetties, Ian Anderson (not the flute-player), John James, Johnny Silvo and many, many others. My guess is that the "Marquis" (a genuine Irish pub) doesn't exist any more - anyone know any different?

(And then off to the "Pillars of Hercules" for a pint of Youngers Scotch bitter on the following Saturday before queuing up for the allnighter at the Cousins...)
