The BelfastFolk Interviews
|
We have introduced the first of a series of interviews with participants in the
Belfast folk scene over the years.
We wish to show the extraordinary range of people who made up the scene in Belfast
and to gain their perpectives at this stage in their lives.
We plan to feature these at fairly regular intervals in a
of the site.
We hope these will generate feedback on the messageboard.
Our first interview is with Eugene McEldowney whom we first met at Queen's
University back in the middle 1960s.

We hope to reach out to all of you who were around the 60's Belfast folk scene.
Any memories evoked by the mention of locations such as Pat's Bar,
Continental Rooms, Imperial Hotel, the Old House Queen's University Folk Club?
Some called it a revival.
For some of us it was an awakening.
We had rock and roll and then we awoke to the folk music that was
around us. Irish, Scottish, English, North American, Hebrew...
not only did we hear it on radio, TV and record, but it was live in Belfast.
It was a time of opening up and out.
It was a time of expectation...
Memory for us is also about action.
Leave us something on the !
Where were you then?
Where are you now?
How have your musical tastes developed?
Some of us have moved far and wide.
Some us are in the Fountain Tavern in Belfast on a Friday evening.
