Subject: RE: Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s
The one in Putney was The Half Moon which used to be run in my time by a whole gang, Royd Rivers,Cliff Aungier & Lisa Turner among others. Joanne and Dave Kelly used to play there often and Eclection. Who remembers them?, Dorris Henderson and Trevor Lucas among others, Pentangle- Bert Jansch, John Renbourne, Jacqui McShee?, and Danny Thomson. Gawd listen to me go on poor old soul that I am, "He lives in the past you know!,it's his age" I also put an enquiry on some web page looking for Derek Serjeant and Hazel King who used to run the Assembly room club in Surbiton but nobody got back.The Dungeon was run by Cliff Aungier, and Ian Grant who was the producer of Country meets folk used to go, I remember Ron Geesin writing a special piece of music to play there. I think it involved piano, of course and a pot lid. Always an innovator that Ron.
