I'm fairly new to folk and stumbled across this thread just because I live not far from Pear Tree Avenue. I attend the Focsle which is being ably run by Paul Clarke and Jon Ellis with help from Lin Rayner. Usually meets at the Guide Dog Pub in St Denys but sometimes (eg yesterday evening) at the Wellington Arms in Freemantle -where I'm glad to say, Brian Hooper was singing.
