Thread Name: should the BBC folk awards be scrapped
Subject: RE: should the BBC folk awards be scrapped
The Claque are a wonderful bunch of veteran unnacompanied singers, two of whom are part of the original group, Isca Fayre, who were residents at the old Jolly Porter folk club in Exeter through the sixties and early seventies. I first heard them when I was sixteen and have been singing songs learnt from them ever since. My version of 'Adieu Sweet lovely Nancy' was originally heard from them as were most of the 'Songs of the west' that I know. They are great blokes and well worth a listen!!
