Is there such a thing as a directory of folk clubs and who organises them in the UK?

You should have a look at Mr Red's Mid West - more UK folk club and sessions than you can shake a stick at. You can reach it through Glosfolk at : http://www.glosfolk.org.uk/

Try a search on 'Guestlist' - run by Jim Hancock in North Lincs. Related to his 'Folktalk' magazine.

If you want to work through all the regional internet listings then the only place to start is Martin Nail's site

Not all folk clubs are listed in the mags

Only clubs that subscribe to them in order to advertise.

there is no comprehensive 'directory'

In answer to your initial question, No.
