Blimey. I was in a *folk club* that just got busted!

Well we only run program at a bit under a 1k in a Brixton Terrace and I have not the foggiest how we never get a complaint.

Eh? We only saw the two cops that came in to the building (who were, to be fair, very polite) and two cops outside. Maybe the riot van came later because we didn't see it (did if kick off with a beardy folkie fightback later?!)Paulie Tandoori said:I'll tell him you said that
Just spoke to him actually and he told me that one of the dj's put on the Hamlet theme tune when the cops arrived, only to be told to 'shut it'.
Sorry I didn't like yer mate's thing but it was awful. I assume he was helping the other band out or something because his rockabilly outfit didn't quite go with the rap stuff!

shut it you egg!
Nah, its C&W hip hop, a whole new cross over approach, boldly going where man has gone before innit

Is it on every week? Just down the road from me, wouldn't mind hearing a bit of poetry and folkiness. As long as it's all over before 11pm.

Hehe that certainly is a first, maybe there's new EU regulations on how long you can have your beard and they were just checking the musicians to see all was in order.
Looks like a cool place though, very comfy

I'm not an old hippy!
Sounds like a cool place, it does look a bit like a squat (or someone's scruffy front room) though
That lot used to hire The Falcon but we drove them out after the LA rock chic and Dave began mocking the local residents as they staggered home drunk from The Beef and Barrel where it was wall to wall fanny and no hippy music. The fucking Seahorses never hired The Falcon but we'd dance til closing time and longer until we made our way happily to Nelson Road for a midnight feast and a sex party maybe. Well we were young and free .. sure we made mistakes. But that rock chic and Dave and to a lesser degree the bloke with the Lovesque tendencies and definitely the Scottish wrongun deserved to be moved on. I wished they would 'go home' with their cissy entertainment I can tell you. Keep music live however.
Go back to Los Angelas .. go home to Scotland .. Ponders End folks aint George Bush's puppets .. no fucking way.
Folk music fans, like pacifists, cause aggro everywhere they go and so they have to be smashed at the outset before they get going. Just go home!

They asked for our phone number once I think, but then never got in touch.

God knows we need more weird folk clubs to play at. We tried playing at a normal one the other week. I think we just confused the hell out of everyone including ourselves.

All these years I've been grooving to kick arse rock n' roll. But the real scene was
- with a hey nonny, nonny, **sing about a trawler/mining/crop disaster** and a nonny, nonny ho!

Come on, my generation knew what was meant by 'a quiet night at the folk club Dad, after chapel'. "Can I borrow that nice sweater of yours, only a brown 3-piece pinstripe looks a bit formal for a relaxing evening")

Mostly harmless unless catering is shut.
Is this "Passing Clouds " or a bit further down Glebe rd.
I helped pass on some PA gear to the owner of "Clouds " and at the time pointed out that more PA equip` would bring it on top with the noise police? Tried to say that he would need half of what he was after and would be better off spending money on stage and drapes..???
As for further down Glebe rd that was my mates squat for a LOOOONG time! Had lots of fun there!

Cool as folk
I was having a spliff down at the pond at Cherry Hinton hall at the Cambs folk fest a few years ago and two coppers appeared out of nowhere
The big burly copper of the two smiles and says "That smells familiar" so i tip him the wink and wait in anticipation for his next line.....
"Just be aware sir that there are a lot of young kids at the festival"
"Where do you think we got the hash officer" i chanced
Bobby laughs and walks off
They're not all bad.
But these fools in Ed's pics sound like Cagney and Lacy on an lsd laced fucking power trip
Busting folkies, reminds me of that comedy sketch where the bobby kept doing people for being a bit beige Bit like the new wpc in shameless.
The worlds gone mad i tell thee
