Thread Name: Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s
Subject: RE: Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s
Now that Judy has brought us back south of the Thames again, I can mention that Tina and I and an old friend, Murray Shelmerdine, used to run a folk club which called Tramps & Hawkers at a pub on Blackheath Hill in 1967/8. It was supported by a lot of the singers/musicians who went to other S.E. London clubs like those at the two "Tigers Head" pubs (Old & New) in Lee Green, the "Rising Sun" at Catford, the "Mansion House" in Deptford and even John Barker et al from the Dartford Club.

Yes, I can remember the name of all the other pub folk venues that we supported and they supported us - but I can't remember the name of the pub that we had our club in! It is probably long gone and we left London in 1968.
Can anyone help me?
