"I found the folk club scene a very mixed bag. Lots of peering over music stands, shuffling of sheets of music, people just not knowing their stuff. A far cry from the clubs I used to frequent in the north and in London in the 60s and 70s..." absolutely , I have stood and watched, on occasions appalled and aghast and occasionally totally dismayed, if i lived in royal tunbridge wells i would probably be disgusted. the uk folk scene has been badly led, within the last 30 years, the fault imo mainly lies at singers clubs[ the ill prepared performer shuffling their music stands rather than at guest booking clubs.
