Blackpool Folk Club

Whilst holidaying in Blackpool for a few days we attended the Blackpool Folk Club which is held in the Clarence Pub, Preston New Road Blackpool. We had a fantastic evening with music provided by local band "Four in a Row" and their guests for the evening, who were called "Thistle". The atmosphere was friendly and the standard of singing was excellent. In particular the fiddle player with the band Thistle I have yet to hear better.
