"Somebody upthread mentioned Nellies in Beverley - I'm sure that was open before the mid-70s because I seem to remember going there in my late teens/early 20s."

I used to drink in Nellie's when it was still run by Nellie and Dorothy and there wasn't a folk club there up to 1968 when I left the area. There was one at The Sun which, in those days, I think was called The Fox. I also remember great nights at The Blue Bell in Hull. Those were the days whyen fol music was actually 'cool' and there were more people under 30 than over.
