Noreen, I apologise if you find the original post alittle too direct, but consider the following
a) As I understand things Folk 21 came into being to encourage the continued existence of "Guest Booking Folk Clubs", their words not mine. Their view was that too many of these clubs have disappeared, and if the current trends continue there will no way of passing Folk and Traditional Music to the next generation.
b) Sunjay tries his level best to do that and for what ever reason is badly let down

I think there are two folk worlds out there, one surrounding singers nights, singarounds sessions etc, and I would agree they are onr whole well supported. They are economical to organise and attend, and tend to be very social. The other being Concert Nights, not the same animal I'm afraid especially in these rather tough times. This is the area I see as ailing. If that were not true what reason would there be for Folk 21?

My experience from having run a club is that too many people vote with their feet on Guest Nights
