Going right back to the name of the thread, I thought the 60's "folk club boom" was much inhabited by people playing Bob Dylan and Donovan songs or trying to play in the style of Bert Jansch or Davy Graham? I must admit it could be a mistaken impression as I did not come into folk clubs until the mid 70's."
Yes you are mistaken, that happened but was not100per cent the situation,OR ANYTHING LIKE IT there were also tradtional singers who sang at revival folk clus, the revival was much more mixed[as i recollect it]
.Dave, if you were not present in the sixties, then you are out of your depth in this discussion
