Subject: RE: why well run folk clubs are important
Don't you? Your choice, though I don't believe we've met.

I'm for the highest performance standards in trad music and totally opposed to the 'good enough for f*lk'/'why bother to tune' school of old blokes who perpetuate a negative image. And for a proper deal for performers rather than be content to let them struggle well below the minimum wage. I think it's very selfish and counter-productive to perpetuate this sort of thing. I'll know what to think about those continue to consider it OK just because it enables them to keep their wallets shut.
