Greetings from New York City!

I invite all Mudcatters in London and its environs to come to Orpington Friday Folk on October 17th of this year when Anne Price and I are the featured guest performers. The two of us just spent the afternoon rehearsing, and we will doing so again nearly every weekend between now and October because we want to make sure everything clicks perfectly. We will have lots of old songs, new songs, and in-between songs, most with choruses or refrains. You are welcome to sing along on all our songs, unless we tell you otherwise. And we will never tell you otherwise.

At Girl Friday's request, Anne and I promise to sing Where's My Bagel and Lox? If you are not familiar with the song, ask her to let you copy it from the demo CD we sent her. I understand that it's becoming an underground classic.

--- Steve Suffet

Whoops !!!! Forgot about Eric Lubbock...How embarrasing is that ? He's now Lord Avebury of course, though he still comes out campaigning. He's a really nice chap.

Hello Cathie. Glad you enjoyed your evening. Hopefully when you next visit your relatives,hopefully recovered, you'll come and see us again. There was no-one called Eric that we know. Did you mean Derek?
Thanks Dick for your comments. Did you enjoy "Lancaster?"

funny, that I used to live in downe,just down the road from green st green[1960 -1969]Downe folk club used to be great,
green st green was a bit more country orientated,mabel Joy, Dave Plane,if you go to the orpington club[not girl fridays],that is the same club that used to be at green st green.

Thanks for all this information - and the PMs that I have been sent.

I am currently spending my weekends visiting poorly relatives 'back home' ie Green Street Green (the Orpington one, not the Dartford one) and will try to take opportunity to visit a local venue for a change of scene. I had spotted Breezy on the list already.

There are obviously so many changed around since I was a young girl. Now they are pulling down the multi-storey car park!! I learnt so much there.

man about town ,since I have played most of the clubs in the area as a paid guest and DARTFORD many times as a floorsinger,I have to say you are completely out of order,Dartford caters for certain kind of folk music veering towards the contemporary,and heavily orientated towards the guitar,nothing wrong with that and they are successful at what they do,but they do not cater for all tastes.
other clubs like the two orpington clubs are very good in a different way,youare rather negative ,what makes agood club is a subjective matter.I agree with Richard Bridge.

That would of course depend on what "Real Folk" was, although there are some excellent perfomers.

Could anyone please tell me of a Folk Club in Orington? Googling gives either Farnboro' village or the Liberal Club in Orpington. Are either of these still current please?

Many thanks
