Forty years later, we’re still at the same pub, although these days we meet in the “Bicycle Shop” off the main bar. The Club is run as what is known in Folk circles as a “singaround”, which means that although we do sometimes book guest artists, most of the time those who are singing or playing do so for no fee, but merely for the pleasure of making music and singing songs to and with others. However, many of those taking part are, or have been, professional musicians, and there are also a number of highly talented amateurs participating. No two sessions are the same, except in one respect - everyone who attends is made welcome, whether they are joining in as a singer or musician, or just there as audience.
