Second Time Around advertises itsself as a Folk Club and every time that I have been there I have had no reason to disagree. It welcomes all aspects of "folk" from heavy traditional to the lighter end of contemporary song (usually the type of thing advocated on this forum.) Reg Cooper, as Al has already stated, has been involved in the Nottingham folk and country scene for more years than I have lived down here and I was informed that performers from both codes would be on hand to entertain and share the celebrations.
Did you get a sing, Richard, and contribute to the night? Sorry that I was not there but there was a rather important event in Yeovil taking place at the same time.
Oddly enough last night I went to see Al Atkinson, a founder member of the traditional folk scene in Nottingham right at the begining of the revival, in Long Eaton and he gave us a night of Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Ry Cooder songs. Cracking session, greatly enjoyed by all.
