On a warm sunny day in early May 1964 the three founders of the club, Stan Burgess, Chris Scott-Warwick and Ron Wheeler were seated in a lead lighted bay window to discuss Stan Burgess’s latest idea, “the founding of a new folk club”. Also with them was Ron’s girl friend Kathy Harris. Drinking a decent pint of beer they wrote out a list of aspirations for the club, many of which still stand true today.

The following posters were all hand drawn/coloured by Mick Bramich in the 1970's. Mick was a long standing resident of the club and is now living in Devon. He has written a number of tutorial books on playing the Anglo Concertina in the Irish style.
