Speaking as a young person, I hate folk clubs, mainly because theyre boring.
You cant be yourself in a folk club, you have to conform and to me that means a lot, If i cant get silly drunk and dance around like a fool then I aint happy.
The friends I have taken to folk club have said ( and I qoute) 'They are repulsively depressing dingy dark rooms, with these strange bearded people that want their 5 minutes of fame'

however when he went to Chippenham, he said 'one of the best weekend of my life' I think that says it all to me.
