Subject: RE: Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s
Can anyone else remember a folk club that was run in The Old Fire Station in Richmond Surrey? In the early 1960's you had to be a club memeber to get a drink on a Sunday Night after 10.00PM - so the folk club was an obvious venue! I saw Long John Baldry playing accoustic blues there and when I heard he was also playing over at Eel Pie Island a few weeks later I went to see him (Rod Stewart was allowed two songs in the "interval" provided he got back from playing football in time!). At Eel Pie, Baldry played with a full blues band including Geoff Bradford and Ian Armitt.
