r.padgett	UK 60s Folk Club Boom? (1167* d)	RE: UK 60s Folk Club Boom?	05 Mar 19
Jim the Folk scene has and is changing and is much more "healthy" than it was in the 1960s ~ believe it or not there are quite a number of "young thrusters" {Sid Kipper term} who at the very least rely on folk song and music as part of their semi pro/ft income ~ some also teach on folk related courses and have have other jobs The 1960s folk singers ~ well yes some were indeed full time folkies reliant on folk club gigs and festival income ~ some were semi professional and some were "just" devoted to the music and its continuance with or without financial reward ~ long may it be so! I think it is important to note the role of drink throughout which has and had good and bad points to its use by musicians and singers and of course the money derived from its sale By the by a recently received copy of the EFDSS magazine does show how well the younger stalwarts are doing and how things were and have now changed Ray
