The Corries

The Dunfermline Howff Folksong Club 1961 - 1969. This close leads to a cellar used as a jazz and folk music venue in the 1960's. The Dunfermline Howff Folksong Club was started here in 1961 by folk singer John Watt, creator of The Kelty Clippie and the Pittenweem Joe. Many famous acts played this humble venue - Barbara Dickson, Billy Connolly, Bert Jansch, Archie Fisher, The Corries, Hamish Imlach, Rab Noakes, Matt McGinn, Jack Beck and many more. In 1969 its use as a venue ceased due to fire safety regulations. Dunfermline Folk Club continues to meet weekly.
