THE 'ORRIBLE 'ISTORY OF THE WEBBUN FOLK CLUB
Cast your mind back if you can to February 2010.
It was a cold, snowy and bitter day when a few hardy souls trudged to the SHIP INN, the local hostelry, to be greeted by 'Terry' the welcoming Landlord who kindly provided free sustenance.
7 brave and bold balladeers who sat and serenaded each other with 7 songs a-piece.
FROM SUCH HUMBLE BEGINNINGS THE MIGHTY WEBBUN FOLK CLUB
AND FOLK FEST HAVE GROWN

The 'FAMOUS FIVE' survivors from that first meeting.
Colin 'Rheinstone' Tate: Eddie 'Shanock' Bailey: Emily & Gyln 'Wild' West: & Tony 'Bayleaf' Baylis
After a sluggish start the club sprang to life and Sunday afternoons found a club room bursting with eager singers. (Well as eager as folk singers can be !!)
And the success...well most people put that down to the excellent host and the welcoming atmosphere..
But some subversive elements have another explanation

Could it possibly be the blantant bribery of Bayleaf Baylis. Often giving away vegetables and rhubarb by the ton to encourage his greedy audience to return time and time again.
Of course I would never be a party to such libelous gossip but as they say "There's no crops without crap"
