FOLK CLUB - from Phoenix 68 [published November 1968]

Since the departure of Mr. Farrow, Miss Williams has kindly undertaken to help with the organisation of Folk Club. The songs that were made familiar last year, are rendered by the resident singers and we have been blessed and enlightened by the poetic recitals of Jill Heaver and Frances Oldershaw. Concerts seen last year Included Simon and Garfunkel at the Albert Hall and the third ‘last’ appearance of the Watersons, also at the Albert Hall. At the beginning of this term, a party from the school went to see Jeremy Taylor at Greenford Hall and forthcoming outings include a concert by Tom Paxton on November 16th at the Festival Hall and an appearance by the Pentangle at the Albert Hall on November 5th.

The standard of the performances by the resident singers has greatly improved and my thanks go to Jill Heaver, Frances Oldershaw, Lorraine Davies, Steven Hinton, John Blackwell, Graham Glenn and Roy Cooper, all of whom have provided splendid entertainment. Attendance has been very good and l hope that in the future, even more will dare to involve themselves in the dubious delights of Folk Club.
