Thread Name: The Future of Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: The Future of Folk Clubs
Let me make it plain that if there were a decent folk club in Sheffield booking decent guests or with decent residents then I would be happy to go.

Kiveton is good, but way out for me.

Barnsley is as far away.

I find it remarkable that Lewes - supports two folk clubs both of which look pretty decent to me - whereas Sheffield can't even support one.

It can't be the lack of organisers - we have loads of them or lack of young people - we have loads of them too. Plenty of good sessions I suppose is the problem - people go there and can get a good fix of the music they love.
