Non-smoking folk clubs in the UK

UK folk festivals, non-smoke singaround

Remember, you are not alone. The tide is slowly turning in the UK. 95 percent of performers in the clubs I go to are non smokers, and half of the smokers are considerate and pop out to another area for a few minutes to smoke. Sadly, there will usually be one or two who still just have to have a puff there and then. On many occassions problems can stem from just a lone chain smoker in the audience. I wonder if problem stems from us docile UK non-smokers being far too tolerant/accommmodating for our own good? In private (usually the ladies loo!) most singers have a good moan about the very smokers who they are far to polite to complain too...unfortunately, it's just the British way!

If you know of any non-smoking clubs not already on the list, please add to it.

Thanks,
