The Traitors Gate Folk Club was the folk venue to go to in Adelaide in the late '1970s and early 1980s. I attended the club a couple of times when they were using the Leicester Hotel in Parkside as a venue.
This LP was released in 1982 featuring singers who performed at the club over the years but they are not live performances. The record was released with an informative insert but we do not have it.
The LP had quite a few glitches - quite a high level of crackles and pops and the vocals had far too many moments of distortion. I have managed to clean the recordings to a good standard so please ignore the occasional residual glitches. The album is quite enjoyable and has a little of something for everybody.
