My wife and I will be in the UK in October, and will be in London form 16th to 27th.

What clubs would people recommend? I have a strong preference for traditional song (though I am not a singer), and I recite some Australian poems.

I will be performing at Sharp's Folk Club, Cecil Sharp House (nearest tube Camden Town) on Tuesday October 24th. You'll find most of the floor singers there do trad songs as well, and you might get the chance to recite a poem.

Sharps and Cellar Upstairs are probably the most reliably "trad". Islington is a little more mixed, they have Pete Cooper and Richard Bolton on the 26th. Musical Traditions have Niamh Parsons in conjunction with the Return to Camden Town Festival. Twickfolk will be closed due to a major event at the stadium

There are also plenty of concerts such as the Jim Causley one recommended above. (The Goose also run a monthly folk club but it doesn't meet while you are in London)

Will you be traveling or staying in other parts of UK or only in London? Will you be in Southport at all?
