I understand the Grove in Leeds could be the oldest folk club running in the same venue - started in 1962 and still there! I have fond memories of the Grove during my student days in Leeds 1964 - 67 with residents The Seven Hills Folk Group (Brian Senior, Keith Marsden and his brother Howard Marsden).

On opening their current web page (http://www.folkatthegrove.co.uk/) to set up a blue clicky, I noticed the sad news that Brian had died recently. I saw the Holbeck Moor mummers just before Christmas, and they said he was ill. Perhaps someone who knew him better than me, and saw him more recently, could start an "Obit" thread.
