Hello, everyone. Spent some time this morning reading the comments about which songs are banned in various clubs. In my part of the world (eastern France), there are no folk clubs to go to. We started one in Nancy a few years back that stumbled through its first year then faded away miserably, mostly because no one sings and even instrumental music is not highly regarded, at least as something to listen to. There is a large yearly gathering in March known as the " Giboulées de mars ", but that is devoted to " dance " music and thus dancers only and, though there might be a token concert, it is inevitably followed by a " bal folk " with a local dance band. I know that this may sound as if I were spitting in the soup, since we could be totally deprived of any kind of folk music, after all, but it is too bad that people here seem to think that traditional music(s) are only intended to be danced to. Any
