There have been a number of comments in varous threads about how difficult it is to earn a living as a folk performer in the U.K.

I just wondered if there were any figures anywhere to give an indication as to how many people list 'folk performer' as their primary source of income in the U.K.?

Is it in the census results, do the Inland Revenue list them?

No particular reason for asking, it's a very superficial question, just curious. It's not my intention to start a discussion as as to who is or isn't a 'folk' performer.
