I don't know if this is relevant because the fact that I'm on probably influences who comes to my gigs and therefore the percentages, but for a good few months now I've usually (not always) asked the audience fairly early in my set if they would prefer me to do more trad, more contemporary covers, or stick mainly with my own. The number of people who say they they prefer trad is usually very small, often none at all - even in clubs where I've been advised that they normally prefer trad material and/or with trad in the title. Only once have I had a majority wanting trad, and I do have one booking later in the year where I've already been asked to do only trad - but from my very unscientific survey I get the impression that, on the whole, in VERY general 'sweeping statement' terms, taken across the whole gamut of places called folk clubs, on average (is that enough caveat's yet?) perhaps most people who go to places loosely within the 'folk club' category of event seem generally to enjoy trad music, but very few want to hear only that. Yes, Robin Hoods Bay is indeed a great little club - the regulars have a fine stock of trad, but whenever I've played there a majority of the audience have been tourists staying on after chips (they start early then stand in the doorway to keep em in :-)!) who have little knowledge of 'folk.' What's nice is that the tourists seem to enjoy the trad as much as the rest, but anything goes as long as you can win them over. Tom
