Hello

After a few years absence I find myself finally moving back to Durham. When I was a student there I had many splendid evenings at the local club and was wondering if anyone could point me to where and when they meet these days?

When I was going it was at the Colpits, then the Shakespeare and finally the Grange Foundry up on Gilesgate

I think the bus to the Armison Centre goes out that way, I shall have to investigate.

In my first year as a student at Durham University (in 1968), the Shakespeare was the first folk club I ever went to and sang at (as a floor-singer). It was great. I was awful.
