So, When i sing in a Folk Club, I have to think about two sets. balance of tempo, subject matter,each set, has a beginning a middle and an end,
Because of the structure of the evening and possibly what others have sung. I can only sing some of my favourite songs
. if i was to sing all my favorite folk songs in a folk club.because of how folk clubs have changed in the last 50 years, I do not think i would get rebooked, that is because folk clubs have moved towards anything acoustic goes, and tradtional music has become less popular in folk clubs than it was 50 years ago
FolkClubs are not as busy as 50 years ago, maybe that is a coincidence, or is it some other reason.
I do know that in 1969 folk clubs were very busy and a lot more trad songs were sung than is the case now.
people can draw whatever conclusions they want from that
