The Ballads and Blues Club, which had been preceeded by a handful of concerts at The Theatre Royal, Stratford, East London, opened at The Princess Louise, Holborn in 1957. Joe Heaney and Seamus Ennis were regular performers; whether they were regular enough to be described as 'residents' was debatable.
In 1961 it became The Singers Club and moved to new premises in The Anthony Asquith Room at the premises of the ACTT (Association of Cinema and Theatre Technicians???) in Soho Square.
Despite the difficulty of finding suitable premises (got the flat feet to prove it!), Ewan and Peggy insisted on a central London venue.
The only time I know of the club being held in Kilburn was towards the end of it's life when it made a brief stop at Kilburn Library in the late 80s.
The most disasterous venue (IMO) was the extremely lush Cora Hotel, (crystal chandaliers and all) around the corner from Euston Station. It was there for a couple of months, but pulled out when the hotel management turned their premises over to the Euro-fascists for a convention.
