If you lot live in the West Midlands area, namely Leamington and Coventry, you'll relise why people no longer go to folk clubs! We don't have an audience any more. Everyone is a performer who wants to start and run their own bloody folk club, we've got hundreds of them - all with about 10/12 lousy beginners murdering good songs! Who's going to pay £1, £3, £5 to come and listen to all that sort of crapp! Even the really goos performers can't draw people numbers, 'cause they know that there is going to be a dirge of floor singers making thousands of mistakes! Yes I'm a maoner, but only because I've lost my beloved folk clubs!
