On Wednesday 8 MAY 2002 Birtley Folk Club will be celebrating their 40th Anniversary.

A warm welcome will be extended to members past and present.

This night should be something special and well worth the 300 mile round trip.

The club meets in the RAOB Club, Birtley Lane, Birtley and I am looking forward to a night of great singing in the North East Tradition.

This is one of the GREAT folk clubs. Anyone who can get there should do so. While you're there raise a glass to the memory of Pete Elliot and Jock Purdon.

Thanks burl

Worth going just to feel the atmosphere of an earlier time and the legacy of the Elliot family.

I might just pop up there. This is the club where I first sung as a young floor singer about 40 years ago. Thanks for the info John. Cheers Bill
