If it is the song that is important.

There is no reason why you should lose any song from a folk club. In line with gov't policy and the PELS act. Why don't we arrange for all clubs to have a CD/Tape player and performers MIME to pre-recorded songs. That way we get to hear a wide range of songs and each mime artist can present their favorite songs and they can either perform to recordings of their own voice or someone elses.
