Subject: RE: Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s
So good to look back to 1960's Fulham Broadway,Magb.Even though I'm Irish the White Hart was my entree into Irish tradional music.Sunday mornings-Raymond Roland,Roger Sherlock,Liam Farrell,Paddy Taylor(occasionally).Paul Brady was often part of the crowd but I never heard him sing there.Likewise,I believe,Christy Moore.
The White Hart musicians released an lp in the 70s.They called themselves Le Ceile.
Then we had the Kings Head -John Mannion,John Bowe and, on fiddle,John O'Shea who was, perhaps surprisingly,a policeman!.
As we're discussing Fulham,does anyone remember the name or pub venue of a folk club in Lillie Road?.Was Theo Johnston involved with it?
Yes,Magb,I remember The Nags Head in York.Wasn't it Sunday nights?
