Phil,

I shall be their.

Yes 6 years for the best Folk Club in Chorlton! The doors open, Nick takes a pound, people come in, lots if them sing, lots sing their own songs, lots sing other peoples songs, some of us sing songs and play tunes, mostly but not exclusively traditional, Mark reads poems, Brian plays a drum and John a banjo. Mark and Clive are some of The Lonesome and Penniless Cowboys and they are unique and brilliant. Jo and Copland, the latter of Guardian letters page, compare and sing excellent songs of their own. Something amazing often happens.

Now,i it is the best Folk Clubn Chorlton but I understand that a secret gathering of "songs and play tunes, mostly but not exclusively traditional" happens on the first Wednesday of the month at the Beech in Chorlton, but that another story.
