And here's their LP, recorded circa 1965 live at the venue. Here's an (edited) review of the club from The Guardian, 14th October 1964, as reprinted in the sleeve notes...
"The Count House folk music club...north coast of Cornwall...derelict engine houses...strangest landscape in the country...end of a lonely track...cliff edge...constant roar of the sea...tin mine building...converted...whitewashed walls and fishing nets...somewhere for people to sing their kind of music...could think of more unlikely places to find a folk music club, but it is not easy to call them to mind..."
The download is a zip file, around 70MB.

And here's a preview, from Mel & Miles, about whom I know nothing, apart from the fact that they "make frequent visits to the club and have spent the last two summers there as additional Residents" (again from the sleeve notes). Anyone...?
I dearly love the photo on the cover - the arch has been 'made safe' by the National Trust, who now own it - Keeger, the dog, was run over by Ian, his owner

still have and listen to this album. Your arrangement of "Nobody knows you" is still my favourite. I heard you playing it live there when I was about 14!

ReplyDeleteIsn't it a great photo?! Thanks for the info; that's good to know (about the arch, I mean; not such good news about Fish's dog...)
