There IS room for all and if WE don't like them, then WE don't have to go there!

Exactly. It seems the only concern is that folk clubs as we know them today will die out, leaving nowhere for people to learn to become performers, and a lot of empty arts centres with nobody to play in them because they don't know how to.

Perhaps this concern is unnecessary, because if people in the future after we've gone, want to learn to sing and play music, they will start their own equivalents to folk clubs (perhaps under a different name, but does that matter at all?), just as somebody must have had to start the folk clubs of the 1950s onwards.

If people don't want to learn to sing and play music, then that won't happen. But I think they will. Should we worry either way?
