Thread Name: why well run folk clubs are important
Subject: RE: why well run folk clubs are important
Ok. Time to put it on the line. We've muddled along with this duality for long enough.

What we need is schism.

People like Tootler who want to make informal music for fun go in one church.

People like Guest who want to music to be well-played and sung in the church.

Clubs can may longer sit on the fence. By edict.

We ban the word 'club.'

We'll call the joiny-in, socially-motivated events 'circles'

And we call the other things 'concerts'

How about that, people?
