Your selective memory has kicked in again, Jim. It was only a few posts back I reminded you of this

...As a singer, I have a loose definition that makes sure that people who turn up to hear folk songs will hear them or songs based on folk syles
...My need for a tighter definition comes when I am writing or talking about the songs

I also told you that as a fellow singer I have a "loose definition" too. If it sounds like folk music, it probably is. If you can have a loose definition, so can everyone else.

As I have now answered your question, how about you answering mine? Just where are these folk clubs where you can no longer hear folk music?

That is all I am asking. This thread is not about me or you. It is about the current state of folk music in the UK. You state quite categorically that there are folk clubs where you can longer hear folk music. If that is true we can do something about it. We can let people know that they do not deserve the title. If you cannot back it up, I can only assume it is not true and ask you to stop spreading misleading information.
