GUEST,Warwick Slade	young folk tradition undermining folk (281* d)	RE: young folk tradition undermining folk	24 Jun 07
The young folk tradition is not the main reason that folk is in decline. Other threads have explored this. One reason appears to be the cost of booking 'top flight guests' yet most clubs, singarounds or open mics sessions have at least one or two very good preformers. The problem is they play to the same folk every week so everyone gets bored. Listener and player alike. Perhaps what is needed is a 'play away' scheme where residents of club A play away at club B whos residents are at club C. Some people would float to the top after exposure to a wider public. This might answer several threads such as 'how to get a gig' or the demise of the folk club Who knows several clubs could get together and book a young tradition or old tradition for that matter. I am sure some clubs do all this, comments please
