Thread Name: I really enjoyed that Folk Club because.
Subject: RE: I really enjoyed that Folk Club because.
Manley Folk DANCE club when we started going in the early 80s. It introduced Jim to the joys of folk dancing which started a whole new way of life and led to some good friendships both in that club and those we went to later. Excellent live music, a lively crowd with their own way of tweaking the dances.
Nellies in Beverley and the Hull & Cottingham dance clubs Jim & I were taking turns with his mother so were very glad of the friendship when we were out of our normal circle. I liked the way Nellies was run. It was there that Ollie started a beginners session tune session before the main club (using David Oliver's books & Cds) which led us up another path.
