Ha! FolkieDave! I initially went to folk clubs when I was younger 'cos I could get served under age and dance with all the eligible young batchelors at the monthly ceilidh! Now THAT was fun!
and 30 years later I am still having fun.
On the serious side though, I have come across some who see folk music as a competition. I just let them believe they are going to win and carry on enjoying myself!
Cheers, Lucy
