Mike Del Monti (below) started his Woolwich folk club at Plaisteds wine bar in Woolwich in 1993. After a short time it moved to The Barn in Sandy Hill Road.
Finally, after some months Mike ended up at the Crown and Cushion by the riverfront. (Left). I was fortunate to be around at this time and watch Mike’s folk club grow and become one of the most popular clubs in Greenwich.
