Thread Name: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs?
Subject: RE: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs?
I first attended Dorking Folk Club in the late 60s.
It was at the Wheatsheaf PH in High St and run by members of the Orange Blossom Sound.
It moved to the Star & Garter Hotel near Dorking North Station, and was continued by Paddy O'Neill.
I subsequently moved away, but visited it regularly for a number of years.
There is still a Dorking Folk Club, now at Dorking Golf Club, and as far as I know it has been running without a break since those heady days in the late 60s.
