Thread Name: The Newfolks - Hull?
Subject: RE: The Newfolks - Hull?
592 was one of the properties cleared in 1962 when the flyover was built. I didn't get involved in the Hull folk scene until 1965 so that might explain why I didn't recognise the names. If they are pre 65 that makes them more interesting to our Archive so please let us know if you find out more. Whilst the Watersons alias the Folksons were doing the coffee shops and jazz club from about 61 onwards they didn't become the Watersons and start Folk Union One at the Blue Bell until 1963. If the Newfolks were around that early it's quite possible they're plucking harps by now.
