Thread Name: Folk Music professional versus amateur
Subject: RE: Folk Music professional versus amateur
Kerfuffle were a good talented hard working band by any standards

- despite their young years
and cute marketable appeal to the 'ooh aren't they adorable' mums & nans folk market..

..let alone any folkie teen girl fans..

But a growing significant dilemma is how to encourage more like them to develop to such high enough standards
to merit and justify contemplating careers in the 'folk music' sector..

..and merely just opening the floodgates to the annual surplus thousands
of hopelessly mediocre fame seeking 6th form college performance arts students
who may be encouraged by their cynical hack tutors
to deluge local 'folk clubs' to gain 'folk genre' live singing experience for their showbiz oriented CVs...???
