I don't subscribe to the 'you are only as good as your last....' philosophy; that makes everything all good or all bad and life's not like that. Our folk club, at The Highwayman, Sheriff Hutton near York (formerly at The Blacksmith's Arms, Farlington, York - see numerous threads about Sam Smiths brewery and live music) varies in attendance from between 10 - 25 but we have not missed a week in two and a half years from when we started. At its best it is sublime, at its worst it is only enjoyable. Some would probaly not regard it as a purist folk club but the folk content is probably around 60% of tunes. The rest are death metal. (Only kidding abiut the death metal - more like Jazz, blues, pop)
