Subject: RE: Wycombe Folk Club
How wonderful to read of our patrons from all those years ago. Bob and I opened the club at the Coach and Horses in March 1965. After a couple of London gigs, ours was the first club at which Paul Simon sang. The Philharmonious Jug Band was made up of some great guys from the air Base and a local farmer. I still have their album. Dick Frost was a stalwart forvthectraditinal songs, indeed it was after hearing him that Paul Simon got the words from Liz Brockfield and some chords from me for his rendering of Scarborough Fair. We had most of the circuit singers at the club, including Julie Felix and Tom Paxton. Yes it was 2s 6p to get in. All news welcome....
