Guest - But their parents are NOT already there. In fact very few people are. I'm simply saying that the next generation of folkies are the ones that should be made to feel as though they would belong in a folk club. Raffles, shit singarounds and inadequate performance ain't gonna be driving them through the door. Maybe a few decent new singer/songwriters and quality musicians will though. I guess it brings back that boring old argument of "what is folk music". As far as I'm concerned, David Gray, Damien Rice and Kate Rusby are folk singers. And I've arrived at that conclusion because I've seen them at folk clubs. I know that's contraversial and how dare those organisers bring such a dearth of non-folk trash into the scene but there you have it! Some people will be very naughty indeed.
