Thread Name: New dance & folk club Blackheath London
Subject: RE: New dance & folk club Blackheath London
"I'll be interested to see how this goes. It's nice to see a ceilidh club which IS a ceilidh club. A ceilidh used to be a dance with entertainment spots, but in recent years it has come to be just a dance - and English Ceilidh at that. The only other example of this type of club I know of was one we ran in Liverpool in the '70s."

Actually there's another current example that also happens to be in South London, coincidentally: the monthly Folk of the Wood nights. They always have several live acts around the dancing.
