Thread Name: FOLK near Croydon???????????
Subject: RE: FOLK near Croydon???????????
Anything happening in Coulsdon, by the way? Just idle curiosity - I grew up there.

(I've got folk roots there, thinking about it - saw Steeleye in Croydon, saw a local trio in Coulsdon who inspired me to buy my own bongoes, learned Who's the Fool Now? from a friend of a friend. Then got into punk and forgot about folk for 25 years. No connections there any longer, either - I just well up slightly as the train passes Coulsdon South Station on its way to Brighton. And I only go to Brighton these days to visit my parents' grave. Getting older's a bugger, isn't it?)
