Hi all. Will be coming to Exeter to stay with sister and family from 7th August to the 11th....Please tell me are there any Folk Clubs in the area(within 20miles) so I can get my "fix" of music.
Best wishes.

mike
you are a silly bugger. Go a week earlier and you could go to the Sidmouth Festival, a stones throw from Exeter.
I know what I would do.
Cheers
Les

Incidentally Torquay seem to have a club every second thursday, which would fir into your week me thinks., but they don't have their August diary on the website. Worth giving them a ring. Used to live in Paington, so know Torquay pretty well. Not so far from Exeter.

Mike go check this link out and give them a phone.

Yes GS he was very good, and it was great sitting in the same studio with him, but the bugger stopped me getting a word in because he took up all the program with his songs :-)

Need to keep an eye on him tomorrow me thinks :-)

Worth a visit then. They can put you up in a cell for the night, after you get pissed out of your brains. :-)

Bet they would love to see you again.

You have no need to worry. I left the Police from Torquay in 1969 and have had a 30yr career in Social Services Child Care since then. I took early retirement in January 2003 and am enjoying life as a Folkie again, an antique freak and a voluntary worker.Life is so good.
Best wishes, Mike.

69 , not with me mate, find your own.

and I no longer have to perform the ballad of K N and the 69er to get laughs.

I'm far more sophisticated now.
