Subject: RE: uk folk clubs high standard
Sorry Ray -cross posted
I have got tired of stating what I mean by a folk club - it is, always was, and still should be a place where someone can go and listen to folk songs or contemporary one created using folk forms
If I worried about what modern kids though I would long have given up reading Dickens and Hardy or watching Shakespeare plays or seeking out good films
I regard folk songs as important - if they don't they have missed out on something and have my sympathy - it doen't make folk song any the less important
If I wanted to be a sheep I'd hang a bell around my neck and get my hair cut regularly
