In the depths of time, my favourite was my "alma mata" The Boundary in Worksop. Closely followed by The Wheatsheaf in Barnsley and Brown Cow in Mansfield. Lots of good ones inbetween back in the day.

These days, I enjoy my local clubs (Epworth and Owston Ferry) when I can get, which isn't too often and a few others. I tend to play different venues when I do get to do a set, mainly arts festivals, charity gigs etc. My days of being pinned down with a band are long over. Singaround folk clubs are most prevalent where I live now, although I was brought up on the stage and give us a couple of songs places rather than pass round the room in turn. That said, I enjoy going to them. I just get a wee bit nostalgic for the old days and very different (to my thinking) folk clubs.

Most of the "venue" clubs used to be upstairs rooms, although most singaround clubs tend to be in the bar areas in my experience. I suppose the more recent style is more accessible in general, and that is a good thing.
