Jim, it is your opinion that "moving away from the type of song that brought us together in the first place" was the main cause of the reduction in clubs. No one is disputing that there are fewer folk clubs. That is a fact. There are many causes why those numbers have dwindled, not just the one you mention. I doubt that was even a major cause, let alone the main one. You have offered no evidence in support of your opinion so it remains just that. Your opinion.
