The Lansdowne Folk Club is a 501(c)(3) all-volunteer non-profit corporation dedicated to presenting, promoting, and preserving folk, acoustic, and blues music in the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan area. It was founded in 1992.[1]
History
The Lansdowne Folk Club, Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, was founded in October 1992 by Lee and Flossie Jones, Mike Joyce and John and Kate Hetherington. During this period the founders began working on a name and a purpose, for the club, building a portable stage, designing a logo and having a stage back drop. After looking at several possibilities for a venue to hold the concerts, the Twentieth Century Club was chosen for its look and acoustics. The founders planned a four show concert series beginning in March and ending in June.[2][3]
The first concert was held on Thursday, March 23, 1993 featuring Robin Greenstein with Jim Strait opening.[4] Since then the Lansdowne Folk Club has become a staple of the folk music community in the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan area.[5] The club has hosted over 200 performances since its inception. Performers Dave Van Ronk, Walter Hyatt, John Renbourn, Jenny Availa, Bill Staines, Roy Book Binder, The Kennedys, Ben Arnold, 5-3 Woodland, and Fitzgerald and Beach have all graced the stage of the Lansdowne Folk Club.[6][7]
