Thread Name: Young Audiences - Trad Folk V Folk Rock
Subject: RE: Young Audiences - Trad Folk V Folk Rock
There should be no 'perchance' about it - not if the club scene is to survive
During these arguments I have experienced a great deal of hostility - that towards my self, which I have got used to, ut that towards the folk songs themselves (inappropriate long ballads, etc) and the 'boring old geezers' who gave them to us
Park House was a series of meeting named after Charles Parker's Home in Leominster, which hosted a number of week-end events to discuss, work on and perform folk song
It published regular bulletins and those who organised it went on to set up @the Charles Parker Archive' in Birmingham Central Library - some later established 'Banner Theatre' in The Midlands
