Thread Name: folk club rooms i have dwelt in
Subject: RE: folk club rooms i have dwelt in
I ran it, for eighteen months with Chris Roche, when the organisers moved to Nottingham. With the exception of one of the landlords I don't remember anything resembling a Zoo. There was a wooden canopy over the stage, and another in the left hand corner and a wooden door system made specially by John Heather to keep the bar room noise out. It was a successful club in it's day. We had great nights with Fred Jordan, and Mervyn Vincent, Roy Harris, and Nic Jones. The Singers nights were legendary. The three Tony's who ended up at Elsie's used to play there regularly. I was resident at Dingles at the same time, and that was an interesting set up. I'll let someone else give those details. I don't remember seeing you at Dingles Dick. Maybe I was working that night.
