I think, judging by some of the people who use the word "folk" in various permutations in their descriptions on MySpace, that it's not only the word "acoustic" that is somewhat deceptive. But we're never going to agree on what "folk" means, either .... All I know is that there are a lot of different perceptions out there!

And I've always wondered what sort of a different audience would stroll on in if a folk club described itself in its promo as an acoustic music club. I wonder who would be most unsettled by the evening, assuming the folk club behaved in all other ways as a folk club?
