Thread Name: The singers club and proscription
Subject: RE: The singers club and proscription
What changed or was there any change? between 1961 and the early Seventies?.
It was my experience, and I understood it to be the norm in the Seventies, that folk club residents helped a club and did not receive payment.A lot of people were putting time and effort into helping the uk folk revival and not receiving money
I was resident at several clubs in those years,I did not receive payment, neither did I expect it,as I understood it, we all gave up our time and were not paid to help the local folk club.
Hootenanny gave the impression that some residents were paid at The Ballad and Blues club, did Ewan and Peggy get paid?, did anyone else get paid? Were residents at The Singers club paid?
I am seeking clarification for the purpose of hearing the truth, there is so much mythology and attempts to rewrite history or muddy the waters on this subject.
