Dukes Folk
Duke Of Cumberland
High Street
Whitstable
Kent


This was possibly the greatest and best Folk Club of all time. Unfortunately now defunct, the club used to operate each week on a Sunday night and was usually hosted by the wonderful Dixie Fletcher or Don Minifie (last seen on "Film Buff of the Year" in I don't know what year).

Amonst the residents were Fiddlers Dram (later to go on to be superstars) featuring Cathy LeSurf (Albion Band), Chris Taylor (Oyster Band & Gas Mark 5), Ian Telfer (Oyster Band) and Alan Prosser (Oyster Band), Ian Keary (Oyster Band) and Alison Salter (Bread & Roses), Chris Wood (Oyster Band and with Andy Cutting).
