another long established folk club is on the cards for closing in April - the Open Door Folk Club in Failsworth

That's really sad. Mind you, even though I'm a Manc there's no way I could get to Failsworth for 9.00 on a Sunday (four miles into town & four miles out again, and no drinking at the end of it) - so I guess I'm part of the problem. Er... sorry.

Drink driving laws and the decline of folk clubs, anyone?
