Where did The Angry Young Men typically play?
DW: We played all of the typical teen venues that were around at that time: High school dances, teen clubs, outdoor parties, bars and fraternity/sorority houses. We were also the main draw at two Henrietta locations known as The Big Barn and The Farm, both located on The Monroe County Fairgrounds. For two summers, on Friday nights, in the mid-’60s, we were playing to crowds of between 400-500 people and sometimes as many as 600-700 people. The Big Barn was a huge grange-like building and fans from all around the county would come see us play. When that contract expired, we had the unique opportunity to lease The Farm for $1.00 per year. We were allowed to fix up the inside, including a stage, and kept all of the profits from the door and at one point a concession stand. It was pretty neat for a bunch of teenagers! We played a number of teen clubs in the area as well as some out of town. The local clubs at the time were The Leopards Den, The Kangaroo Club, Guys & Dolls, Long Point Park
