I don't know what sort of catchment area Strupag is talking about, but I can say that, the folk club on Portland (UK) folded, as above, through people singing the same songs to the same people week after week. I don't feel that the drink-driving legislation has helped a lot, (combined with the two mile beach road, between Portland and the 'mainland'). Two miles may not seem much to some people, but somehow it seems to be a psycological barrier, both for 'them over there' and 'us' on the island. There are occaisions, when events on 'the mainland' are not supported by 'us', for the same reason! The other problem that seems to rear its ugly head from time to time, is folk club 'politics' - you know 'A' falls out with 'B' over some relatively small point, because the indestructable force has hit the immovable object. I apologise for my ramblings. V.
