If you read the threads, you will notice that the majority of the UK posts seem to be about who is going to be attending what session.   During the summer months, I think there is a lot of USA conversation about who is attending what festival.

Unfortunately, we do not have a folk club scene that operates like those in the UK.   Our "clubs" are really coffeehouse that usually meet monthly and the audience is there to watch.   The UK scene tends to involve more participation, and the folk clubs meet regularly. We do not have a pub scene that matches what occurs in the UK.
