Subject: RE: Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s
After my first year of residency (a/k/a internship) in 1978, I went to Britain for a 2 week vacation. I saw Stefan Grossman at the Troubadour, and also went to Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger's Singer's Club, which was held at the Bull & Mouth, I don't recall where that was. One of the high points of my life: Ewan said they had room for one more floor singer, so I volunteered. There I was on stage between Ewan and Peggy, playing Peggy's old Martin, singing the first song I'd ever written! Wish I'd had more time to explore the folk scene there.

Aloha,
Mark
