Thread Name: Why folk clubs are dying
Subject: RE: Why folk clubs are dying
VT was spectacular on a couple of songs, I have to say

Thank you Richard... err if you really are Richard Bridge (some of us are wondering). That is high praise. Wonder if CAMRA will knock up some posters and coasters with your? pic and the caption... "have you seen this folkie?"

The young one carrying around the guitar did finally play Saturday night. I was gobsmacked. She has only been playing for a week. Ask Steve May? for a report. Amazing for only one week playing. I hope she does not give it up. I think she was there with her parents who were all that showed from the sadly flu infected Wolfshead and Vixen Morris Side.

I echo RB's opinion. If this weekend at the Good Intent is any indication, folk clubs are definitely not dying.

Same goes for the two I attend in and near Chelmsford. Both growing exponetially in membership, though a bit on the aged side.
