Subject: RE: Why folk clubs are dying
IF WE EVER FIND OURSELVES IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT,   WE GO.....! WE SAY TO THE GUY - YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG! YOU ONLY THINK YOU RUN A FOLK CLUB. THERE IS NO FOLK CLUB HERE.

Quite right too - but again, I've got to say I've never seen anything like that. The worst I can remember is one night in December - I think it might actually have been the week between Christmas and New Year - when there were about six of us at my local club at 9.30 (for a 9.00 start), and three of them were non-musicians. We'd all got drinks in, so we just sat around chatting for a bit. Then a bunch of people turned up around 10.00, and we were off. It was a good night in the end.
