In my experienc and I have been gigging in folkclubs for over thirty years,FOLK CLUBS are where you hear Folk music occassionally thereis abit of crossover with country or Jazz,less now than there used to be.
Much depends on whether there are cheap suitable venues available,plus hard working enthusiastic volunteers to run them,who although they are amateurs need to have a professional attitude ,organisation and promotion wise,a difficult task.
Iwould like to thank all the club organisers over the years who have helped do this.Dick Miles
