Thread Name: Collapse of the Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: Collapse of the Folk Clubs
...... took me back to the days when superstar *A.C* would stagger on stage, try (unsuccessfully) to tune his guitar, mumble something about "near enough for folk" and throw up over the front row – (good days my arse)..........

I can think of two A.C.'s who would fit that description!!

And I have seen other performers do similar tricks.

Like Jim I prefer not to name names but yes, some of the performers I booked could put it away too - including "traditional" singers two or three of whom seemed to have an infinite capacity for alcohol. I often wondered what they would be like when stone cold sober!!

And just to prove there is not so much money in folk as people think I have seen people being forced to share a cigarette.
