I'm not sure.

I once asked the manager of a local hotel there but was given Fawlty information.

Johnny J. John Cleese was it, aka Basil Fawlty?

Another sign of the decline of uk folk clubs, in the past there was a folk club there , now there is not one in Torquay .
I played at the old Torquay folk club several times,Solo and as part of a duo with Richard Grainger and with New Mexborough English Concertina Quartet it was well attended on all occasions
