Thread Name: why well run folk clubs are important
Subject: RE: why well run folk clubs are important
And if we don't do something to break down the walls we've cast up around us, to build bridges to other traditions, to encourage the few talented youngsters who do share our passion, and above all to demonstate to the rest of the population the pure quality that's our true cultural heritage, this music will die with us and the revival will have been for nothing.

The problem is that attempts to 'build bridges' are often scoffed at by some people, or the artists who make such attempts criticised for 'selling out'. How can we build bridges without this happening?
