Artists' payment has a number of pitfalls due to venue issues and pub closure and indeed if a club consists of singers and regulars and some "punters" then support for guests will be affected

Pub and other less formal venues are being charged in UK for maintaining a monthly bank account charge of typically £5 pm some barely take that and the very existence of this show that Banks think that our folk clubs exist to be profit generators ~ well no not really!

So folk events unless under formal control by LAs and Community clubs etc tend to be free or collection style ~ straight to Guest ~ wouldn't you?
