Reasons to go to a folk club, in order of importance: 1. A captive audience for your songs or tunes, politely appreciative whether you perform well or badly; much better than playing on your own at home while the family stays in the other room with the TV turned up loud. 2. A chance to enjoy a couple of pints, cheaper than the pub. 3. A chance to chat with people other than the family. 4. Somewhere to go in the evening, slightly more interesting than TV and much less tiring than the gym. 5. A chance to sit through other peoples' music, and feel good about applauding politely whether they perform well or badly.
