Moz 164 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I remember going to a fold club regularly in the 60s on Canal Street - I think it was at the Bowling Green. I also sang at a pub on Carlton Hill, can;t remember the name. On the other thread (News House), it was mentioned that it was difficult to find out who was on at the Gladstone - I get a regular email informing me who is on (I signed up when I went a couple of years ago to see Paul Downes, who is an old friend of my wife). There are still folk clubs running, but a lot have been replaced by Open Mic nights which are run at most pubs it seems and generally have a wider range of music (not just folk).

darkazana 1,736 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 On the subject of folk music, was just driving past Southwell earlier and if anyone is interested they are having a Folk Festival next to the Workhouse from 5th to 8th June Quote Link to post Share on other sites
