I used to run a folk
club in the room upstairs in the pub for a few years around 1966 as a group
called the Cowgate Ranters. We had some very good local singers and even
some guests of renown like Dave Swabrick the fiddle player. |

Loved the folk music carrying pints
upstairs into the jam packed room with a fire on in winter was
memorable. The music by the Cowgate Ranters and guest artists left me
with a lifelong love of folk music.The Clancy’s and of course our own
Geordie mining songs (blackleg minor etc)and Wallsend songs like
‘Stottin doon the rope works waal’. I remember a guy called Roxy was the
club leader back then, and he organised a folk trip up to Kielder. |
