"Talking to my Mum, her memory is of "hundreds" at the old Lincoln Folk Club at The Turk's Head back in the 60s and 70s (I'm too young to be able to validate this)......we usually get between 35 and 65 at the club we run in North Yorkshire.......

Thanks

Paul"

My memory of the Turks Head is that the room would hold about 100 and it was often full in it's heyday. Guests were about every other week. It was not the only club in Lincoln either as the Swiss Cottage (later at the Aquarius club) also met weekly in this era.
