I listen to radio programmes, buy recordings and sometimes go to festivals but I 'consume' folk in the same way as other music forms. I don't think of folk as more real or English or relevant than any other genre and would have trouble going to clubs where members might think it is. I don't want to wear a waistcoat or carry a tankard to listen to folk music any more than I'd wear a leather jacket to listen to rock and roll or a tonic suit to hear soul music. 'Scenes' of all kinds smack of insecurity, if the music is good or challenging that'll do.
