Thread Name: why well run folk clubs are important
Subject: RE: why well run folk clubs are important
One of the most respected venues in the world is The Ark in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There is not one legendary folk performer that isn't aware of it, and most will play it at the drop of a hat. They do a very eclectic mix, and the secret to their longevity, IMO, is that they stay relevant, while mixing in the trad stuff. The crowd travels from three States and two countries to go to these concerts. So, in the main, I agree with countess richard.

Her early comments to Dick were, IMO, uncalled for. Seems as though an apology might be in order.
