Two clubs that I really enjoyed. One that no longer exists and one that does! The one that has sunk is the Phoebus Awakes Folk Club in Catford. This was the first club I visited many moons ago. I was enticed into the club as "something I might enjoy" and I was hooked. Wonderful people, wonderful belting choruses and a guest list to die for. Interestingly two of the stalwarts live in my neck of the woods and we still sing and perform together. The other club is the Croydon Folksong Club. Still very active, it celebrated its 50th Birthday recently. Same accolades as above! Wonderful residents, wonderful guests. I am glad these clubs inspired my continuing love of folk music in all its widest sense.

Best wishes,

Peter
