Thread Name: why well run folk clubs are important
Subject: RE: why well run folk clubs are important
well I don't think you should ever let anybody in a folk club unless they are wearing pink underwear. Its a simple enough requirement, and if someone won't go along with that - they are no respecters of the tradition. Ewan MacColl, The Copper family, Sleepy John Estes, Christy Moore, and Peter, Paul and Mary -- they all wore pink underwear.

I remember the time Bob Dylan asked for floorspot at the Dog and Ferret in 1954, wearing navy kegs.

I said, f--k off Bob, we're serious about folksinging here mate...

you've got to draw the line somewhere.
