{"product_id":"the-folk-river-memories-fraser-bruce-9781800167063","title":"The Folk River - Memories from the Early Scottish Folk Club Scene","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe folk club scene did not really take off until the 1960s. In fact, in 1960 there were only four folk clubs in Scotland, the oldest of them only two years old. Ten years later there was one in practically every town of any size, several in the cities. This was the same story throughout the United Kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe folk scene grew in parallel with technology. National television coverage, recording techniques and affordable transport brought the music into many homes and allowed both performers and audiences to travel more around the clubs and festivals to hear the folk music of the day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2019 two of my friends that I had known since I was a young lad at school passed away. They were both beneficiaries of Norman Buchan's hugely influential Ballads Club at Rutherglen Academy, as was I. We had been introduced to folk music in our teens and it stayed with us all of our lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fraser Bruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800167067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800167063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanguard Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.40d","brand":"Fraser Bruce","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48014393540863,"sku":"9781800167063","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28c23c66-fc63-46a5-ba98-b50fec8c5a8e.jpg?v=1767748144","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-folk-river-memories-fraser-bruce-9781800167063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
