Thread Name: The singers club and proscription
Subject: RE: The singers club and proscription
Proscription and prohibition in the end always fail.The reason I chose to not visit The Singers Club was as a result of a conversation with the "great Ewan MacColl".
Whilst I was in search of good folk music I was also in search of a good time, I very quickly realised that I was not going to have a good time, in fact It appeared to me that it might be a bit like going to Sunday School.
Why would I want to spend my evenings with a man over twice my age, who on my first meeting with him appeared to be authoritarian.
I was nineteen years old, there was plenty of choice of good quality folk music in other clubs and plenty of girls of my own age in other folk clubs other than the Singers Club.
None of that alters the fact that he was a very professional and skilled performer and fine songwriter.
Great man?Chacun Sa Gout, some people think John Wesley was a great man.
