Most Folk music happens in small folk clubs. Over the years the number in the UK has dropped dramaticaly. Song and tune sessions still survive as do barn dances.
Mini-festivals like Swinton and the Open Door in Oldham, and I guess lots of others, clearly do well.
Has anyone tried putting a song session, a tune session, a folk club and a barn dance in the same building on the same night on a regular (once a month?) basis and did it work?
