Subject: RE: UK folk scene - what future for clubs?
Lots of what's wrong, not a lot of how to get it right.

But there is more than a sniff of stuff I remember from when I was at university - and I NEVER went folking. I just wanted music that made the women swing their pants. For most people, going out is not about music, it's about sex. Remember?

There was a period when folk and access to the preferred gender might have coincided - now the closest one gets I suspect is the electro-ceilidh.

Of course, offer a lusty teenager a grope with a wrinkle and you'll scare them even further away.   Hmm, hmmm, problem here.

Answer! Poster in local nurse's hostel, girls drink free up to 9pm. Now the lads will come crawling.

Problem, how to hear the music?
