I see the point regarding folk clubs, but they are diminishing and lots of knowledgeable singers are no longer getting to sing at them ~ frequency and old age ~ younger singers are looking to be professionals from word go ~ yes there are some brilliant new stars like Cohen Braithwaite ~ Kilcoyne (google him) and some who we think are new but have been making a living some years now [Hanna James]

Traditional songs and singers do exist and performers arrangements as well as very many unaccompanied singers certainly figure in sessions
