GUEST,Observer good aspects of uk folk clubs (43) RE: good aspects of uk folk clubs 26 May 20


The music I want to listen to, I can listen to whenever I like. I do not need it to be provided for me on mainstream media. I buy music by artists I like, I do not expect any Government to subsidise that. But there again Dick unlike you I do not, nor ever have, relied on making my living from music so I understand that your perspective differs greatly from mine. Current times must be extremely alarming for professional musicians, especially when it comes to gauging the willingness of people to crowd into venues that will be full of complete strangers to listen to performances. There is also the undeniable possibility that across the whole of the UK, as far as "Folk Clubs" go, the number of pubs that existed in February 2020 may well not be the number of pubs that reopen once the lock-down is lifted. Landlords will want people in spending their money, not people who occupy valuable space for three hours and buy three orange juices. Nevertheless I sincerely wish you the very best of fortunes once the "new normal" establishes itself.
