The vast majority of music I see in folk clubs is still well performed folk music as per any definition. The runner up but well behind is well performed music that may or may not be folk depending on definitions. A small amount is well performed music that will never be considered folk. There is a tiny amount of shite including poorly performed folk music. Sadly, it is the shite that people remember and talk about.


There is also performed poetry. Some good, some bad. Not sure where to fit that in.
