Julie B	Non-smoking folk clubs in the UK (90* d)	RE: Non-smoking folk clubs in the UK	25 Oct 01
…Indeed Dai! More and more smoke clubs are indeed choosing to designate themselves 'non-folking' these days. Years ago, a folk singer would think nothing of suddenly bursting into a 43 verse ballad in the middle of a room full of chain smokers. Understandably, some smokers got quite upset. Many smoke clubs started to restrict folk music to certain areas (out of earshot of the smokers) or ban it altogether. So, in many venues now, singers are forced to pop outside for a quick chorus during breaks. This seems fair. Often, only one or two of the smokers present are actually folk singers themselves anyway, and what smoker wants to have to go home with an unwanted tune lingering in his head for days?! BG Julie B
