Thread Name: Current Great Folk Clubs?
Subject: RE: Current Great Folk Clubs?
I'll put a word in for the Topic in Bradford at this point - the oldest continuously running folk club in the world. Sadly it has has had to move from it's previously superb venue Glyde House as it was closing down and is now in the Merchant's Bar in Little Germany. Now that I am in York I don't go but can testify to it's friendliness and eclectic mix of guests and floor singers
The Black Swan in York is also very good though I prefer the cabaret layout of the Topic to the more formal theatre style seating at the Black Swan - though the room is very small so sensible option to get a decent sized audience in. The old pub is beautiful but the beer range and prices are disappointing compared to other places in York
