I used to go to the Welly in the Boro for folk nights in the early 80s.
I used to listen the Teesside Fettlers through borrowed LPs from the Boro Central Library as I could not afford to buy LPs when I was a student. Now I have all the LPs from second hand shops and Oxfam online - 40 years later.
I try to support Teesside based Folk bands when they come into my neck of the woods - saw the late Vin Garbutt in my town and Megson. I saw the Young Uns at Boro Town Hall. Teesside seems to be a real hotbed for Folk bands - Chapman Family, The Wilsons, Cattle & Cane. Some of the local Teesside folk songs have some great humour and some deep passion and emotion.
I’ve heard the folk version of this. I wiped tears from my hairy face with a corduroy cuff..The Chapman Family a folk band?
You sure?
Good luck mateEy up

Oh God yeah, some songs can be hard to endure!Even I, a quite experienced and dull old folkie, struggle to sit through too many 'Matty Groves' type Olde English tales of fair maidens and noblemen.
A dirty job, but somebody's got to do it.Oh God yeah, some songs can be hard to endure!
I'm currently working for the British Library archives on the Peter Kennedy collection - an archive of over 10k songs - and some of it is driving me insane...actually making me question my love of folk music hahawaaaa
