Always a great evening with Pete, a truly superb performer.
The Swan is a proper Folk Club with good guests and utterly amazing beers What a pity that I am the driver, because sometimes they have Exmoor Gold . See you there Chris

And we all know that "tact and diplomacy" are your middle names, Nic!

Careful now or I will have the massed ranks of the Melodeons to squeeze you.

Lets get back to basics. PETE COE is really very good and deserves an audience as befits his talent. The fact that times are hard and an evening at a wonderful Folk Club is getting beyond peoples means is a tragedy. We have had Folk Clubs in Leicester and the County for over 75 years since the first Club started in 1933 at the Vaughan College.
Dig down in the pockets, look in the ash tray in the car ,find the money to see Pete whilst we still have the option to go to a club
USE IT OR LOSE IT.
I feel very strongly about our historic,provocative ,political( well it was Marx and Engels that coined the phrase when they were in Koln) entertaining,stimulating music It has been a major part of my life for nearly 50 years and I want others to continue to get as much out of as I have

Pete's CD "Paper Houses" is especially worth having if you haven't invested in it yet.

OldNicKilby,
            From your description your club must surely be the oldest surviving club in the country. Have you any archives telling us what it was like and what went on in its very early days in the 1930`s?.

Wish I could be there (I have visited the Swan in Rushes when in Loughborough for work, but unfortunately not on the club night). As Nic says, Pete Coe does a great evening... will be in Harrow recovering from the Sidmouth reunion though and it's too far to trek for an evening and get home in time for work on Monday.

Oh No John the original Folk Club only lasted about 4 years.
Yes there are archives and I have passed copies on to Doc Rowe and Jill. The songs were not what we would expect to be sung today but quite interesting all the same
P M me if you would like photo copies either here or through Young No More yes I know I should do a blue clicky
