The very nature of our music, based at grass-roots level, will ensure that its future will have a better chance of survival and even thrive above and beyond any other genre, simply because it does not rely on commercialism to sustain it. quote
True,
but guest booking folk clubs have paid a part in keeping standards higher in the uk,
what i would not like to see is singers clubs where people are unrehearsed and not singing folk, i would not be interesed in singing in such places i would rather stay at home and invite a selection of friends who like the same kind of music, an invite only house party would be more to my liking than people shuffling through bits of paper and singing bad versions of pop songs.
i am not saying all singers clubs are like that, but if i went a couple of times and it was . i wouldnt bother again
