Maryrrf, we all know that, and if you look above there are been plenty of comments to that effect in amongst (and I'm for ever championing folk club organisers elsewhere) - but not all organisers are as effective as you, some actually don't make much effort if truth be told, and, sadly, working very hard, loving the music, and being a nice person etc may not be enough to save a club. It also does not guarantee fair terms for artists - who are professionals and deserve a proper deal. These issues do need to be raised, and if no-one ever does just because of the reasons you mention, things will not improve.
