GUEST	What's Happening to our Folk Festivals? (114* d)	RE: What's Happening to our Folk Festivals?	22 Dec 17
Couldn't agree more Mr. McKenzie. A certain group will blame everything on Brexit even although it has not yet happened and will not happen until the end of March 2019 at the earliest! The trouble with festivals would appear to be that they are becoming "Music" Festivals where anything goes as opposed to "Folk" Festivals where those turning up expect to hear folk music. The Clubs went that way a long time ago. They now appear to be the preferred stalking ground of the singer/songwriter. Locally someone who runs two festivals, one of which is billed as a "Folk" Festival, because that is the mantle he took over absolutely hates, loathes and detests "folk" music, but if it wasn't for "folk" clubs and "folk" festivals he and his band would have nowhere to play.
