The "lads" or the "boys" The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem brought Irish music to America through the folk revival.

I worked with them and a wonderful guitarist who did great work with Odetta on
Tradition Records (owned by Pat Clancy)................... Bruce Langhorne.

Paul Clayton opened the Gate of Horn folk nightclub in Chicago.

John Braheny mentioned the Fickle Pickle in Chicago. I played there with a trio on the off night and a new comedian used to come in and do impromptu sets ....Dick Gregory.
Bob Gibson came in too.

Does anyone remember Pat Foster or Woody Wachtel? Or Rolf Cahn? (I know Jo Mapes does because she posts here.)

John Braheny, "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" by Eric Von Schmidt, Jim Rooney does a good job of chronicles from that time and preceding times. Lots of Club 47 folks there.

Taj Majal and Ry Cooder were in a group called "The Rising Suns"

The late Erik Darling influenced the pop folk scene with "The Banana Boat Song" running concurrently with Belafonte's and "Walk Right In", his rewrite of Gus Cannon's song with the Rooftop Singers.

Broadside Magazine run by Cis Cunningham and Gordon Freisen featured some songwriters who weren't quite as famous as Paxton and Dylan (who they featured)
such as Gil Turner.

Len Chandler was part of that also. He later wrote songs for a weekly news show in
Los Angeles on current events called "The Credibility Gap".

Bernie Krause replaced me in the Weavers. He has an interesting autobio: In 1998, Heyday Books ," Into a Wild Sanctuary: A Life in Music and Natural Sound."

Does anyone remember Jessie Benton (Tom Benton's daughter?)

Some might remember Billy Faier, the banjo player. He innovated some interesting banjo styles as did Sandy Bull.

Jim Rooney and Eric Von Schmidt. Joe Val and the New England bluegrass band, The Charles River Valley Boys. Around that time Geoff Muldaur, Maria and the influential Bill Keith (the father of melodic conjunct style banjo playing) were in Jim Kweskin's band at the Club 47 on Bow St. Cambridge.

Ray Boguslav from New York.
Children's songwriter Peter Alsop.

Did anyone know that Jac Holzman of Elektra Records played flamenco guitar?

Tony Saletan? Brookline MA.

Molly Scott?

Caroline Hester

Anita Shearer?

They were known by a small audience in the 60's.

One of my fave folkies that I worked with at the Gate of Horn was Alan Mills (nee Alan Miller) who brought with him the greatest fiddler I've ever heard name Jeanny Carignan (Ti Jean) from Montreal..

I also worked with Brother John Sellers, a great fellow and fine gospel singer.

Of course, if you remember the 60's, you weren't there.
