I was not wrong, Hootenanny. You misread what I wrote.

In my first post, I said the Ballads and Blues stopped after the summer break in 1962, not in 1961. Malcolm Nixon did not restart it after the 1962 summer break.

And, in my second post, I said I had omitted to mention that the club had moved to the Sevendown by the end of 1961.

SING magazine's "Directory of Folk Song Clubs" (September 1961) still gave the venue as the ACTT premises in Soho Square, so it must have moved to the Sevendown later that year.

And, when you refer to the "Hootenanny Ballads and Blues" heading for the club's small ads in MELODY MAKER, this was in 1964-1965 period, not the period I was discussing. So that heading was not "always".

And you are mistaken as to the venue of the Ballads and Blues in that 1964-1965 "season". It was the Black Horse in Rathbone Place, not the venue you mentioned, which may, perhaps, have been later.

Finally, my reference to "Hootenannies" was to a much earlier period still. In late 1959. SING named the club as "Hootenannies", with no mention of Ballads and Blues at all. But the night, the venue and the residents at "Hootenannies" were the same as for the Ballads and Blues. It was just being run and a different name.

All of the above comes from contemporary publications, not memory, so unlikely to be wrong, let alone "plain wrong".
