Thread Name: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs?
Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs?
Frodsham Folk Club (Cheshire UK) opened in Jan 1968, and to my knowledge, has been running ever since.
Geoff Bibby has been runnig clubs in Warrington since before I met him - around 1970, although I'm not sure if this has been continuous. Can anyone confirm?
Not sure how long the Kiveton Park club (Yorks) has been running. I remember playing there a couple of times with The Wakes in the mid/late '70s, and the club wasn't new then. They boast that they never close - even on Christmas Day.
